At Easter this year, my wife and I took our Wii to my parents' house so the whole family could play. My 93-year old grandpa (who, by the way got his first computer at age 88 and his first digital camera at 90) bowled about 4 games and was loving it. It was a really cool experience and one that could have never happened on any other game system to-date.
