Post-holiday blues: number of Wii-related injuries rising |
Ó
With the Wii's very successful sales this past Christmas, many people who bought one were diagnosed to have an acute case of "Nintendo Wii syndrome" - the term they dubbed the numerous Wii-related injuries inflicted on them while playing on the console.Martin Davies, who runs five osteopathic clinics in Cheshire, noted an increased number of Wii-associated injuries after the holidays. He mentions that the patients were mostly middle-aged parents who had been playing on the console they bought for their kids.
Then again, playing up to 10 hours of the very physical Wii Sports games is bound to cramp up some muscles. Davies says the tennis and boxing games were the biggest causes of injuries and cautioned patients to limit their playing time according to the guidelines posted by the game's manufacturers.
On the other hand, this probably means that a lot of people are getting more than the required amount of exercise that they're looking for in any given week.

some people need to learn to take a break
Wow, those people must be some real losers to be able to play mindless tech demos for 10 hours! Don't they have, I don't know, a job and/or life? I've played Dance Revolution for 2 hours before, was exhausted, and wasn't sore at all before. I also didn't need a $400 ripoff console to do it, just a cheap PS2 and $50 game & dance mat.
DOUCHE!
because its was two hours loser
The Wii is $250, not 400. You make it sound like someone went out and bought a PS3 to play DDR.
Well I gess it would be kind of like if the PS3 only played DDR since that's what most people do with Wiis and play wii sports. The Wii does cost $400 unless you make some kind of advance order or know someone in the retail chain that knows when they come in or just get lucky.
I remember you said that u cant get exercise off of the wii.............*****
Wtf do you care about what someone else does with their system? I had no problems getting one the month after launch when I tried. This christmas was no different when I picked one up for my friend's family. If you have to buy it from some other place than a retailer...Most of the time it costs more because of people selling them as bundles with other stuff.
You don't get exercise, you just get injuries.
