Someone with her star power really could make it ok and cool for women of all ages to buy a console, and start making it part of their daily lives. I'm personally enjoying the training and fitness programs in Wii Sports. Not that I'll loose a ton of weight, but it's a fun way to blow off steam after a late night of work.

One of Oprah’s toughest struggles throughout the years has been with her weight/body image. Many people in Oprah’s core audience can identify with this problem. Idea: Oprah’s Daily Diet + Exercise (could be released as combo or individual product): This would be excellent for the Nintendo DS or PC. Oprah has had many shows on personal health so there is plenty of source material for the product. -Healthy Eating: Diet recommendations, calorie counters, healthy eating guide, etc. -Physical Health: Track how many miles you’ve run/walked, exercise routines based on age and weight. Mini Oprah to help motivate you (think, that professor from brain age). -Spiritual/Mental Health – Words of wisdom from various sources. Maybe a tiny Dr. Phil to tell you that you’re wrong and an idiot. Similar too: Food preparation software has already been released for the DS outside of the US. http://www.joystiq.com/2006/07/31/ds-cookbook-a-japanese-hit/ I’ve caught a few Oprah shows now and then and here are some thoughts.
