Now I am not saying that a Wii is accurate enough (yet) to be able to fully differentiate between skill levels of the players but one day it could be as accurate as sports in the real world (although admittedly different to the real thing still). Would it then be classified as a genuine sport to take someone on by playing on Wii?
Or is there something just plain wrong about it - or is it just our biased traditional preconceptions about sports vs electronic/simulated games?
You are correct JayJay. Playing a sporting Wii game is far more physically taxing than chess or darts so if they can class themselves as a sport then why not Wii?
