Research on Wiifit

Hey, im a final year computer science student, and for my project i have decided to develope a fitness site.

For my research i have been looking at Wiifit and its huge popularity. Now i was generally under the impression that on Wiifit you are encouraged to beat your records and share your records with others?

I haven't played the game myself, so could anyone confirm this for me? and explain how it is achieved? is it via online leaderboards?

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

You could, ya know, play the game...

BTW, if your investigation in on Wii Fit (Plus) only, this is pretty much all. Other fitness games for the Wii had better training programs and or social components. EA Sports Active 2.0 had a complete social hub outside the game, but those servers are down already. I pretty much used only Wii Fit (Plus) and all the EA Sports versions (except NFL Training Camp), but there were several others. UFC, for example, was a very intense one too. These are just bits of information as I really don't know the focus of your work. Regards!enrique_marrodz

Thanks a lot for the help, Yeah basically im creating a social fitness site, And im just trying to draw a correlation between people being more motivated to do a form of strenarous phsyical activity, when their competing, or their results are presented to others.
