EA says that EA Sports Active has an evenly split user base in terms of gender

“Although we focused our marketing campaign on women, EA Sports Active was designed to accommodate everyone and our consumer base reflects that.” – Monique Gomel, marketing director
I think that there’s no surprise that EA Sports Active was targeted at women. From the advertisements to the box art, every one featured a woman either playing the game or talking about it, but it doesn’t come as a surprise when you hear that userbase is split pretty evenly.

Nintendo’s newest patent might be more ridiculous than the Wii Vitality Sensor
Posted on 15 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii | 7 Comments
Okay, the Wii Vitality Sensor could be cool I’ll admit, but Nintendo’s newest patent seems even more… obscure. Take a look:
It seems to be some sort of horseback riding peripheral (or any other animal you could think of to ride) and it works by inserting the wiimote into the device and using the nunchuck to control on screen characters. At the moment I’m not sure what to think, so I’ll ask you guys. Does the device have potential?
