Wii and Old People = Fun

February 23, 2007, 12:16 am

Here’s a cute article about just how much Nintendo has redefined the gamer market.

Wii is now the latest rage at the Sedgebrook retirement community in Lincolnshire, where the average age is 77. … “I’ve never been into video games, but this is addictive,” said 72-year-old Flora Dierbach. “They come in after dinner and play. Sometimes, on Saturday afternoons, their grandkids come play with them … A lot of grandparents are being taught by their grandkids. But, now, some grandparents are instead teaching their grandkids.”

:)

I’m impressed. Props to Nintendo on this one.

      Same here. I think their stock is probably a good buy, since it’s tapping into a bigger and unprecedented market… which means they can sell more of their product, which means… more profit… which means… higher stock value. Man… If I had the money…

      My girlfriend’s parents play Wii somewhat regularly.

      The Wii is absolutely amazing, but needs more games.

      Also agreeing with Jackson on the whole stock market dealio.
