Wii Becomes A Hit With Seniors...

We know that [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]'s [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] has been a massive hit with families, but we've also noticed a growing trend with the physically-interactive game system that is honestly a bit of a surprise -- apparently, senior citizens can't put their Wiimotes down.

The pensioners at the institution have been engaging in knock-down, drag-out contests in Wii Sports -- playing tennis, boxing, and bowling with a cut-throat competitiveness not seen since the Dark Ages. Barrie Edgar, 88, one of the home's residents said, "It's great fun. We've only had it a few days but we can't put it down." Mr. Edgar then glanced at Tilda Montgomery, another Sunrise Home occupant and exclaimed, "Prepare to be pwned, you old bird."

Re: Wii Becomes A Hit With Seniors...

These stories make me laugh but seriously what's wrong with seniors playing games? It's at least better then watching TV or dying all depressed in a nursing home. Good story
