This is hot. Nintendo's Wii is making video game converts of the elderly.
The seniors weigh in:
72-year-old Flora Dierbach: “I've never been into video games, but this is addictive. 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.”
Don Hahn, 76, a veteran of numerous real-life bowling competitions: “This is pretty realistic. You can even put English on the ball. I used to play Pac-Man a little bit, but with this you're actually moving around and doing something. You're not just sitting there pushing buttons and getting carpal tunnel.”
I bet golf's a hit too.
