We got our Wii fit. I think it's a good idea, and well implemented.

This goes back to the unique origins of Nintendo's "NES" concept. At a time when "video games" were considered a fad that was on its way out, Nintendo marketing had to find a way to move their units. So instead of calling it a "video game" they called it "Nintendo ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM" or NES. Something that is fun for the whole family. And that concept remains solid today with the Wii. We have made our little Miis, and my 2yo daughter asks to see "the family game" on TV.
