Nintendo release the Wii less than 8 months ago, and since than it has been the top selling game console on the market. With its revolutionary design and gameplay, it is no surprise this console is beyond popular.
But along with the new design, doctors have found themselves treating what is being called "Wiiitis". Wiiitis — pronounced "wee-eye-tis" — is the latest ailment to develop from the video game era, beginning with "Space Invaders' wrist" in 1981, which was caused by the repeated button mashing required by the popular arcade game.
I can hear it now: "Mom, I hurt myself playing with my Wii, my elbow and shoulder just hurt so bad".
