This is a pretty interesting short article from Time Magazine. The picture is the first thing that captured my attention. I had no idea that you could play something like baseball with two active players. Looks pretty fun.

And if there are actual health benefits, maybe there's a good reason for getting the console. My only question is, though, is this better than Sony's EyeToy? I'd love to see a comparison of how gaming techniques involving the EyeToy differ from the way the Wii works. I guess it all depends on whether any companies come out with games that use the EyeToy's motion tracking capabilities, though...
