They don't see it as much because when playing a game such as say, Wipeout, they are just jumping around like mad anyway. The Kinect has trouble with children, especially small children. Though I'll try to influence it as I don't have to be un-biased. So we'll take a look at a couple of the major decision factors in the three systems and leave the decision up to you, the people. Which is it, he asked, which one is best? The Xbox with Kinect? The Wii or the Playstation Move? Actually, he didn't ask about the Playstation Move, but it should be included in the overall conversation. Which brings us to the current debate, as suggested by fellow GeekDad James Floyd Kelly, who is looking to purchase a new active system for his family. With the innovative direction taken by the major console systems, gamers are getting active, and getting their families involved as well. So what exactly has changed in the past couple years to get gamers off the couch? (And for the purpose of this article, when I say gamers I'm referring to console gamers, as PC gamers are a whole different bunch and the tech I'm talking about doesn't apply to them at all at this point.) Well, the instruments of play have changed. Gaming has evolved, and through that evolution physical activity has re-entered the sphere of gamers and that will change everything. So when I say de-evolution, I mean that the idea of gamers and their physical stereotypes are reverting to their earlier stage. Even now, in my 30s, I game regularly - after I spend time at the gym. I'm not making any judgments on that fact I'm a gamer, but always had a healthy balance of gaming and physical activity.

They became unhealthy and pale, shunning physical activity for sitting around gaming. Then the really hardcore ones fell into a stereotype that they created. There wasn't a stigma, there wasn't a stereotype. They were normal kids, skinny kids, fat kids - whatever - just normal. Where once the stereotypical gamer was a fat pimple-faced kid in his mom's basement, hands covered in Cheetos dust and a two-liter of Mountain Dew with a straw nearby, the gamer is now de-evolving as gaming is evolving. With gaming, gamers have evolved as well.

In fact, one could make an easy case for flat out evolution.
