Delivering a Father's Day speech to America, President Obama was once again found taking a side-ways swipe at the negative impact of video games on life.

EA Sports boss quickly stepped up to challenge Obama's comments about the negative impact of gaming to the American Medical Association, posing a 30 day Sports Active challenge (presumably in the hope garnering a few headlines in the process).

"I'd be willing to bet there are more consoles getting far more use in American homes than there is exercise equipment, so it's up to us to continue to use the platform for good," Moore commented.

Obama has apparently portrayed games in a negative light three times in various speeches over the last ten days, the president implying that games are linked to laziness, something Peter Moore obviously has a problem with. would presumably disagree, too.
