A new report from England shows that Nintendo Wii burned 51 % more calories then using a Xbox game, which is good news.  Unfortunately after playing the Wii for an hour a gamer can expect to burn 60 calories; which as the report states amounts to a quarter Mars bar or for you McDonald fan’s only 9 hours to burn off a 540 calorie Big Mac.

Well I guess my future career as a Wii Personal Workout trainer is just never going to pan out.  So video games is not more beneficial then working out or doing some sort of out door activity but it’s still better than nothing.   I wonder if the Wii Fit will cause people to burn even more calories?  Just have to wait till that study is completed.
