Microsoft: "Wii Fit is for wimps," announces aLive?


While we've already reported Microsoft's first steps in linking itself and the Xbox 360 to a healthy lifestyle by sponsoring the first annual Family Fitness Day, reports suggest that it is in the process of developing a more "violent" rival to Wii Fit.

TomsGuide writes that an exercise game called aLive was announced at a presentation in Redmond, Washington on Wednesday. The program is said to be subscription-based, available via Xbox Live from June and will cost from a teeth-gritting $200 to a truly wallet burning $2000 USD.

“Dance and yoga are fun, but violent actions are what get people in shape,” said Xbox-ercise aLive’s marketing director Todd Belham. “The Wii Fit stuff is for wimps. You burn a lot more calories smashing the controller into someone’s skull than stepping on and off the Wii Fit pad.”

Some kind of joke, maybe?
