Video Games Consoles
Exergaming or Active Gaming at home is typically associated with Nintendo Wii but not every game here is automatically an exergame. Remeber exergames have an element of physical exercise involved, so sitting on the couch playing Wii Tennis or Mario Kart Wii doesn't count!
Features for Home Products
Exergaming at home requires a product that is portable and affordable. There's no doubting the average family won't pay $4,000 to enhance a $120 games console for exergaming!

One Comment: DDR is "Dance Dance Revolution".
This is an official dance sport called "Machine Dance".

Good point Sandra - there are many "Dance Mat Games", perhaps you could start a page on this wiki to discuss and reveal them?

Here I'm just looking at the home fitness versions, so DDR fits well, by the way!

Hi,
maybe we should only have one page for all exergames width a columns: "home, Fitness"
It will be hard to keep it up to date.

There's a cost and availability issues for home exergames, but, let's see how the main list turns out?
