Hey, at least it's cheaper.
Retailing at $59.99 (that's a good 30 duckets less than Wii-Fit), EA Sports ACTIVE will launch in March 2009. The game will NOT include a balance board peripheral like that which accompanied Wii-Fit, but instead will include a rubber strapped holster to hold the controllers, attaching them to the players body to free up movement.
Peter Moore, president of EA Sports (known best for "Madden NFL") promises the game will give players the kind of workout Wii-Fit never could.
"Wii Fit -- its not really a western style philosophy of cardiovascular exercise," says Moore, "You've got more of a classic eastern style of balance and coordination. We're bringing with EA Sports Active a more Western philosophy to exercise, which is about getting your heart rate up, keeping it there and sweating."
