Addicted to the Nintendo Wii Console
Oct 1st, 2009 by Nintendo DSi
I found an old article from 2007 about the eldery in nursing homes being addicted to the Nintendo Wii. It did make me chuckle.
“Taking it in turns with the hand-held controls, the pensioners go head to head against one another in the various games.”
“Residents, who are aged between 80 and 103, were so enthralled by the games that they demanded that staff purchase one immediately.”
“The games system has proved to be such a success that executives at Sunrise Senior Living are now planning to buy one for each of their 15 residential homes.
If this goes ahead, inter-care home tournaments would take place with teams of elderly residents travelling to other care homes via mini-buses for matches.”
Well this just shows how well Nintendo have done with the Wii. They have captured just about every audience haven’t they?
