The Wii can be played and enjoyed by anyone. I took the console to my parents and had my 80-year-old dad enjoy bowling and golf, and even my technophobic husband enjoys some of the games and sports.
Of course, the "hard core" gamers in our family still remind us of the power of their Xbox 360s, but they still seem to be enjoying Prince of Persia, Madden, and Zelda on the Wii.
I don't have time to sit for hours trying to get those delicate thumb controls perfect. I have a life. With the Wii I can enjoy the strategy of the game more because the controller is less frustrating.
It is selling because there is something anyone can play.
