The text deals with the main idea that the new console of Nintendo -the Wii- has health benefits. The text is divided in two parts. The fist is devoted to the evolution of the console whereas the second focuses on three differents benefits: therapeutical impact, psychological impact and an impact on obesity.
Let me start by explaining the first part. Wii was launched in November 2006 and mainly provides virtual games. Contrary to traditional hand-held video games -where users are sit and move only their thumbs- the Wii make real physical exertion. Meanwhile, it could make aching backs or sore shoulders.
Let's move on to the second part.
Wii is now used as a "therapeutic video game" to treat children who suffer from a partial paralisy of the body. Indeed, by playing virtual games, they can improve their motor functions.
Moreover, it als has also a psychological impact. Using the Wii make people exhausted and give courage to people who don't feel really good. Finally, the biggest health benefit is that Wii can fight child obesity. According to a research, children can lose weight and burn three times more calories by playing active games. It could also considered as a new kind of regime.
In brief, the spokewoman claims that Wii has more benefits that it had been expected.
