I love that everyone ha an opinion on wii related injuries, but I can assure you that these pains are not all general soreness. I'm was an active person before I for the wii, swimming rubbing etc. But 19 months ago I got a wii and have not been as active ever since. I played baseball 5 times and I have numerous doctors, physios, chiropractors, acupuncturist, myotherapists and an MRI that can attest to my wii related injury. While j would never even mention the word sue regarding this injury my lateral epicondylitis tendon was strained an stressed so severely that it ha not healed yet. 19 months of treatment later and numerous cortisone injections has not settled this injury. And I've been in pain everyday since. 5 times was all I played it. It was not general soreness an still isn't general soreness. It doesn't matter if your an active person or not or nintendo tell you to take regular breaks between play. An actual injury can occur, from this game system and I don't think people should make light or what is a serious problem for some people. My medical bills for treatment so far are not a laughing matter. I sold my wii earlier this year after it sat unplayed for the 19 months. I'll never play one again. So until you do suffer or no someone who has suffered from an injury don't presume to judge that alll people are idiots or inactive all it takes is 1 time playing and any one of these commenters could suffer as I have.
