At what point does your next generation console become a runaway success? Is it huge shortages across the US? Maybe it's outselling your competition, five-fold in your native country? That stuff is strictly small potatoes. True success is having your very own medical condition.

Following in the hallowed (if slightly achy) steps of the 1990 sore thumb disorder, Nintendinitis, comes the vowel-happy Wiiitis. Coined by Dr. Julio Bonis, a member of the Research Group in Biomedical Informatics in Barcelona, Spain, in a letter written to the New England Journal of Medicine, the condition describes a variant of tennis elbow caused by Nintendo's newest gaming console.

Given the ever-increasing variety of Wiimote motions in current and future games, medical science can expect new and perhaps unexpected manifestations of the vaguely-irritating condition. However, there's apparently already a cure: ibuprofen and Wii abstinence. Ugh. Looks like we'll be using up a few of our sick days on this one, after all.
