Mother Complains about Wii Kelly claims that her children get "a false sense of what it's like to compete in the world"	By Filip Truta, Games Editor 15th of February 2007, 08:15 GMT Adjust text size:


Are you amongst those whose parents would do anything to keep you off video games? Do they find all sorts of excuses to encourage you into doing anything else but that? If this is your case don't worry, you're not even close to being alone. Since Nintendo released its Wii, things started to look up for couch potatoes and computer freaks who never saw daylight or played any sports since their first gaming experience. The Wii's more than interesting controller, the Wiimote, redefined gameplay with its motion sensitive feature that implies playing the game using all of your body's muscles. The revolutionary idea of turning mere button pressing into heavy physical exercise became a blast and everyone started embracing it, especially when the first rumors about losing weight playing on Wii appeared. So far so good, but some parents still claim that Nintendo's Wii keeps their children from making any real physical exercise and claim that the machine gives children a false impression of sports. A woman named Kelly who is also a mother even said that video games give her children "a false sense of what it's like to compete in the world." Come on, even a 6-year-old has enough sense to realize that games are nothing but moving around some cartoon characters that have infinite lives, they clearly realize that if they did get hurt, no other them will be coming down from the ceiling clipping and with a filled up life gauge. Oh, and if the kid sucks at sports then...he simply sucks at sports. It's really nobody's fault that he can't see the ball or feel the competition and it certainly isn't because he's been playing Wii Sports.
