I'm talking about things like the MLG, not just getting excersize lol! (DDR FTW!) If getting excersize was a sport, then this would probably be a little more debatable.

Wii was made for all the fat kids who don't get any exercise from playing video games ALL DAY, now instead of punch-beep-bleep they go -whack-miss-"DANG I HATE YOU %$@*(%@$*( STUPID WII TENNIS GAMES! ARRRGH!"

YES FTW!

i voted no because in my mind, sports are usually physical.

i understand your argument for it being a sport, it just doesn't seem like it to me. btw, my friend from school regularly skips school to play in xbox live halo 3 tournaments. has won a few grand, but quit to play resistance on the Ps3 =-O

Gaming is NOT a sport. I don't see Pro Gaming anywhere.

Gaming is not a sport, and it never will be. I consider all sports to be physical.

I have a Wii, too, and you get almost no exercise from it unless you box like a dumb ass.

I noticed you said "usually"! So you can't vote no unless you say always lol! You can't have a sport that isn't physical be physical lol!

By the way, Resistance is fun, but Halo 3 is way better online lol.

Yes, but they have an unprecidented amount of skill in Accuracy and Aim.

Well, I voted no because in my mind, a game doesn't become a sport until I break a bone doing it :P

Games that are now sports:

Football, Basketball, Baseball, Rock climbing, and Woodcutting (Stupid Boy Scout camp) ;)
