While some people are commending the Nintendo Wii for the physical benefits that it helps provide for them, here's one guy who seems to be doing the opposite: James Wade, professional darts player, has attributed his less-than-stellar performance at a darts tournament to having played Wii Sports Boxing the day before.

You see, Mr. Wade had reportedly received a Nintendo Wii as a Christmas gift. Unfortunately, it seems that his enthusiasm with throwing punches in Wii Sports Boxing resulted in stiffness in his back and shoulders the following day, so much so that he was barely able to lift his dart-chucking arm.

In spite of the handicap, Mr. Wade went on to win the Ladbrokes.com PDC World Darts Championship, anyway. Still, it seems that Mr. Wade has learned his lesson: absolutely no virtual boxing before the big game.
