I dunno, I think Wii Boxing would be a lot more strenuous than playing Darts or Snooker.

Wii players used only 2% more energy than players of regular computer games

2%?!?!
I was knackered after playing Sonic and Mario Olympics for an hour, i was still aching the next day! Yet you can play a normal game for hours on end.

seems a bit biased towards the opinion "all games consoles are bad mmnkay"

What a load of cobblers, the BBC as usual post some absolute rubbish, just ignore and move on..

I absolutely resent the fact I have to pay a TV Licence for this level of drivel..

It has to be way more than 2%. Whatever the % of it, its still better than sitting on your arse pressing buttons. Excercise > wii > pc / other consoles tbh

At the most, Wii titles will keep your joints loose.

As has been said, Wii boxing is knackering! Baseball gets pretty tiring too.
