Oh for god's sake. Haven't you been reading to any of the replies here?
Any activity that requires repetitive actions will/might eventually cause repetitive stress injuries. Anybody suing mouse manufacturers yet? What about baseball bats, tennis rackets, badminton rackets? What about musical instruments? Oh no! I broke a nail while playing the guitar/piano/sax/etc for hours and hours non stop! I'm going to sue them!
Hellooooo. Most games require some repetitive actions. So the wii is a video game, it still is a game. The beauty of it is that it also gives you an idea of how it feels playing the real thing. Even professional athletes get repetitive stress injuries. They tend to prefer one side of their body more than the other. Lucky and rare is the athlete that finishes his entire career with 0% injuries. The fact is...they know they might get injured somewhere down the road but they try to MINIMIZE the chances of that.
Common sense folks. No activity comes with 100% risk free guarantee. You saw the ads with people moving around enjoying themselves- do you honestly expect no one might strain or injure themselves somewhere down the road either by accident or stupidity?
If you sue Nintendo for suffering carpal tunnel syndrome by using your wiimote...why don't you sue your office too for giving you a mouse and not a tablet and pen to work on?
Hell even sitting down for hours can cause long term ailments if you don't take breaks.That's why long distance drivers are required to make pit stops to stretch their back and legs. Why office workers are asked to stand up and walk around a bit, etc.
Oh and you said so yourself-Nintendo warns you. So if you didn't take the warning seriously and got injured-whose fault is that?
jeez, i never said i would sue nintendo. the thing was , it hurted after like 3 hours. Anyways, i HAVE to work with a tablet and pen! LUCKY ME!!! damn school...
