It's partly the fun factor. People would probably exercise more if running or jogging were as fun as playing Wii games. :)

making people think it will be replacement for excercising in order to make more money off of ppl who are naive enough to believe it really does help.

Despite the name, Nor will the upcoming Wii Fit do anything to help you stay in shape or entertained. It's all marketing gimmicks to give fat and/or dumb people more fake reasons to get something they don't need. Come on, how is standing even considered exercise?
At least games like Rock Band and Dance Revolution really do give you a workout, and they are either not available on the Wii or much better on other platforms.

If you honestly think Wii Fit is going to help people lose weight by standing there playing little mini games(which is actually what 95% of Wii games are anyway) then maybe you should get outside more often. I'm sorry, but in the real world if people want to lose weight they have to put some effort into it. You can't buy some video game which make you stand in your house all day and expect results. The only thing Wii Fit actually does is exploit the idea of self-image in people to make them purchase it.

While it is obvious that a video game can never be a real world subsitute for actual excercise, I have a little bit more faith that the average person also knows this. While some people might buy this game due to the "self-image exploit", many people are going to buy this because it is something new to try.
I don't see what the big deal is anyways, if a game can get you do move around a bit more, or even do push-ups, that's all good. It might be the motivation some some need to actually get off the couch.
And to the trolly MCS, while your drumming on Rock Band might move your arms, how is this different than playing Mario/Sonic Olympics? And the DDR comment, about it being better on other platforms is just stupid. YOU JUST MOVE YOUR FEET TO DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE DANCE MAT WHILE WATCHING THE SCREEN!!! How can this be better on one console but not another?
