The fact of the matter is that the Vii is too close of a knock-off of the Wii. And if kids need to exercise, then they need to do it outside instead of in front of a TV. Nintendo invested many years in research and development, not to mention money into creating the Wii, and here comes some Chinese company knocking them off. Why couldn't this Chinese company be more creative? It's okay to make a competing video game system, but you don't copy EVERYTHING from a competitor. The Chinese have no respect for copyright laws and this "Chintendo Vii" is the perfect example of that. I know people say that the Vii is more affordable than the Wii, and that's true. But still, it's like being forced to drink store brand cola instead of Coca-Cola... because in the end you're gonna want the REAL THING. There is no reason to feel good about yourself when owning a Vii. All you're saying is "I like cheap stuff." Nobody likes to have 3rd rate stuff, and that is what this Vii is. If you can't afford a Wii, then save some money so that you can get one. Treat yourself to the to a Wii, you deserve it. And if you like being cheap regardless, then good luck with your Chintendo. Have fun playing "Come On" and "Fry Egg". And while you're at it, get one of those new fake Chinese BMWs and watch the paint come off the car while you drive in the rain. Cheap stuff never lasts.
