I would say no too, my mom could care less about video games. Other than she knows that I like them. She isn't against them or anything. She has played the Wii at my cousins house but wasn't too thrilled with it. I like arcade games so I dragged her to an arcade show we have here and she seemed to like that (I found her playing zaxxon though, and it was hilarious because thats like, an impossibly hard game! and she has never played games in her life). She played pac man but I had to explain the concept to her.
She didn't really feel that the Wii was intuitive and all of us had a hard time grasping the controls and even my grandmother tried it. I let her try pinball hall of fame on the PSP and she seemed OK with that too. The Wii really isn't as intuitive as its made out to be, you really can't just pick up and play it, it does take some practice even for someone who has never played games before.
I am sure if I brought an arcade game home (if i had the space for it, which unfortunately I don't) that she would play it, but I doubt she would play anything else. There is just nothing more intuitive than an arcade or pinball machine. She would especially play the arcade game if she knew it was cheap or if I would have gotten it for free, the one thing my mom likes is a good deal!
