Wii Fit Plus approved by British government
Wii Fit Plus is already out in most of the world, with Europe being the last territory it is releasing in this week. And with that comes approval of the game from the British government in the form of the Department of Health. Video games are usually condemned as unhealthy both for body and mind, so Nintendo must be reveling in this vote of confidence.
Change4Life is a campaign by the British government intended to get Brits eating healthily and exercising more. In March of this year the campaign was condemned for implying that video games are part of the problem and lead to a sedentary lifestyle. Seven months on and, according to The Telegraph, the campaign is backing Wii Fit Plus, with the Change4Life branding and logo playing a part of print and TV adverts.
Nintendo has sold six million Wii consoles in the U.K. and almost half of those owners have bought the original Wii Fit. So Wii Fit Plus is likely to be a huge hit upon release. Adding the backing of a department of the British government is only likely to increase that as it gives the product something no other video game has ever received.

Because Wii is garbage and also because most people here are PS3 owner and fanatics. And Wii owners are a little polite since they mainly kids or woman and old people. PS3 is for well everyone.
