That WAS the whole point of the experiment, what do you think they were testing?
The whole claim with the Wii exercise bullshit is that it would make exercising fun, this study shows that Wii usage rapidly declines (i.e. fun factor doesn't work) and that naturally there are no health benefits.
There are two layers to the test: "the usage and fitness impact."
The first order question is whether Wii fit actually engages people enough that they keep using it.
The second order question is -- if people are using it -- does the exercise regime the Wii Fit promotes work?
To my mind the second order question is much less important. Even mild physical activity like yoga helps your health, it's not like we really need another study to prove that. The real question is whether or not Wii Fit can actually engage people enough for them to keep using it, which it obviously doesn't.

I don't understand, if you were calling on the Sprint network you would still use your minutes anyway, so why does it matter that roaming deducts from them?
I really hope dropping prices indicate a new WebOS device in the near future. Pre seems pretty good, but an even more polished successor might get me on board.
