The Nintendo Wii which is slated as the must have Christmas present for 2006 and due for launch on the 8th of December, can be a lil harmful to health as our US buddies have already found out.
In America, where the console was launched earlier this year, gamers have noticed the effects it has had on them, reported the Wall Street Journal.
Kaitlin Franke, 12, from Kentucky, said her right arm started to feel numb soon after playing on a Wii.
Ryan Mercer, 21, a customs broker in Indianapolis, suffered severe muscle strain, even though he regularly lifts weights.
He said: “I was soaking wet with sweat, head to toe — I had to go take a shower.
The next morning I had trouble putting my shirt on.”
Jeremy Scherer and his wife, from Minnesota, spent three hours playing Wii tennis and bowling games.
Mr Scherer, a computer programmer, who described himself as “not very active”, said his shoulders and back were aching the next day. “I was using muscles I hadn’t used in a while,” he added.
