Move over Monopoly, Wii's coming home to party |
Ó
What's better than playing Wii with a Wiimote? Watching people play Wii on their Wiimote! The success that the Wii is experiencing all over the globe probably isn't because of the marketing, it's because it is just pure fun for the whole family.The sheer entertainment value of family-friendly games (even tot friendly, too!) available for the Wii is nothing compared to the enjoyment watching family members give their all at their favorite Wii games.
Perrin Kaplan, VP of marketing for Nintendo of America, said that the Wii was popular at family gatherings over the holidays. "For the first time over the holidays all the people in my household were playing together. I know it was a first for a lot of households," she said.
Kris Smith, 23, gathered with a few pals in suburban Chicago basement to try out their friend's brand new Nintendo Wii console. At the end of the night, he was tired and sweaty, but bent on getting a Wii for himself. He called it "the equivalent of a man Tupperware party."
John Sams, 20 and a student in Greenville, South Carolina, said he knew the Wii would provide new socializing opportunities even before its release. So he and his brother, Indy, 22, set up a website to reel in people who were interested in Wii gaming parties in their area. It has about 150 registered members already.
