Oldsters Help Propel Wii to Number 1
September 16th, 2007 . by Jilly
Its nothing new that old people play the Wii. But I still get a kick out of seeing the pictures. Its pretty amazing that for the first time in 17 years, Nintendo Wii has taken the worldwide lead of a videogame console. Its because they’ve reached out to a different target market, and its worked.
My mom told me that there was an advertisement in her Good Housekeeping magazine for the Nintendo DS game Brain Age. Brain Age has puzzles, sudoku, and math problems designed to keep the brain active. My mom’s playing Brain Age now, and I think that’s pretty damn cool.

Well, I’m not that old yet, but I am now the proud owner of a Wii! Nintendo is back!!
