I have written several articles on the pros and cons of various game consoles, so it seemed appropriate to write one on the Nintendo Wii Fit. In case you didn’t know, the Wii Fit is a current bestseller for Nintendo.

When looking at the pros and cons of anything, a very important factor to ask yourself is whether that pro or con is fact or opinion. Of course, the opinion of the masses counts a lot and especially in this case. If you believe something is beneficial, that may be true, but it may be true only for you, but if 99% of people believe the same, then you will most likely accept that it will be true for you as well.

After this, I think the pros and cons of the Nintendo Wii Fit are mostly, if not all, opinions and not real, solid facts.

So what are the pros and cons of the Nintendo Wii Fit? There aren’t too many of them, and in fact they narrow down to just two or three areas that come up almost every time someone gives a Wii Fit review.

Most opinions seem to suggest that the Wii Fit is too expensive, around £90 to £120 (at the time of writing), though I would add to that opinion that it hasn’t really stopped many from buying it. Wii Fit is a great seller.

I’m not sure if this is an advantage or a disadvantage, but Wii Fit is not a game where you press buttons all the time; it is the opposite: you are doing, not pressing with your fingers. For some, believe it or not, finger pushing is half as much fun as using a console.

One big plus, of course, is that Wii Fit makes you lose weight if you use it correctly, and people love it.

That really is all. If you do a search for yourself, you’ll find that almost all opinions on Nintendo’s Wii Fit come down to price and weight loss, though I must repeat that while price is cited very often as an issue, it doesn’t seem to stop people from buying the Wii Fit.

So what do you think? Is the Nintendo Wii Fit worth its weight in gold, or do you want to lose some of that weight? I’ll let you ponder on that.
