I have a few questions about the Wii. This going to sound very stupid but can you lose weight while playing the Wii Sport Games? I probably all ready know the answer but I have to ask anyway. I also have another question about the Wii. How much rough housing can the Wii take?

The only reason I ask these questions is because I am thinking about getting one after Christmas. But my dad, the guy who has never played a video game in his life, wants to use the Wii. Well, I'm kind of leary because he can get a "little" angry when things don't go his way, and I just don't want to end up sending it back to the place I bought for repairs so soon. Thank you all for the help.

You can probably lose a couple of pounds with Wii Sports if you get really active with it, but the actual things that target fitness or weight loss are titles such as Wii Fit and EA Sports Active.

Wii is somewhat durable; just keep the actual console out of harm's way (as all controllers for Wii are wireless this shouldn't be an issue)

Ok then, that's all I really wanted to know. Thank you for the help.
