Mercury News has an article from this past Saturday looking at more examples of the Wii expanding the gaming demographic. Read the excerpt below:
“I also brought my Wii console home for Christmas, and my mother, who I have never seen try any game except for `Tetris’ in her life, after seeing what my brothers and I were doing, asked to play some `Wii Sports’ tennis! It was definitely a moment to get out the camera and take a picture!
“I thought she would enjoy it and then let others play. No! She proceeded to play game after game for over an hour! I have been completely amazed at how the Wii brought that out of her (finally!) and how she can now appreciate my love for gaming.”
Since getting the Wii and taking it downstate with me most of the time, my parents haven’t had many chances to try out the Wii yet. However, I do recall my dad being quite intrigued by it when I brought it home for the holidays. Maybe I should see how both of them like actually trying it out.
