Nearly every game system has a fitness game like the Wii Fit and EA Sports Active.  The NPD Group500x_wiipushups tracks computer and video game sales in the United States. It reported in 2004 that:

  • Console and portable software sales: $6.2 billion
  • Console and portable hardware and accessory sales: $3.7 billion
  • PC game sales: $1.1 billion

With the already massive wellness/fitness/diet market worth well over $400 billion it’s no wonder the video game sector has tried to tap into that.

As the years of experience start to pile up there are certain things that one hears in certain situations over andno_time
over.  One of the ones I have been reminded of lately is ‘I don’t have time’.  Whether the goal is more exercise, food preparation, self improvement reading, more sleep, etc, the excuse (yes, I said excuse) is 7 times out of 10, “I don’t have time”.  This past year has given me perspective like no other.
