Will the balance board be reinforced?
No word yet on whether the balance board will be reinforced for Western audiences? It's current limit is 21 stone but given the current obesity crisis wouldn't it be better to make something able to stand up to more portly frames?

Maximum weight
The balance board can take up to 135 kg so the vast majority of us are covered.
@ Barney

@Sean
To be honest, how many of the "vast" minority would actually bother?
