The Casualties of Wii

In Section: NY comPRESSed » Posted In: Sports, Health, Entertainment Posted By: Will Alden
- Wii was asking for trouble with the Wii Fit, and now they've found it. The Washington Times reports on a recent abundance of Wii-related injuries: everything from wrist sprains to brain bleeds. It's not a pretty picture.

"People just think, 'It's a video game, it's not gong to hurt me,'" says a medical director at Washington Hospital Center.

I beg to differ. Experienced gamers have been warning us about this phenomenon for decades, even before Wii was invented: video games exercise your thumbs. Those veteran nerds who stretch their thumbs before and after each Halo marathon will soon be joined by legions of shame-faced nouveau-gamer Wii Fitters.

Up next from Nintendo? Wii Physical Therapist.
