I saw this article on Kotaku earlier today
http://kotaku.com/gaming/wii/my-parents-wii-party-281112.php
It reminds me a lot my experiences with the Wii this past holiday season. I got a Wii from my parents for Christmas. I had to beg my father to let me set it up in the living room. I wanted him to try it out, but initially he said no. So, I got my sister to play some Wii sports with me. After a couple games of tennis, my dad wanted to try, and then my mom joined in later. We played for hours. By the end of the night, my dad (who is usually very quiet) was talking tons of smack. My dad hasn't played games since he had an intellivision. My mother tells me that he's been looking to buy one ever since, but hasn't had any luck finding one.
My mom and dad's 60th birthdays are coming in August, and my sister and I chipped in and got them a Wii, plus a couple extra controllers. Its really crazy, because I never thought that my parents would ever be interested in videogames. I'm not complaining though, now I'll have something to do when I go home.
