Wii-ing at Christmas

Having spent the morning running [see photo here], Vee’s nephew David and his wife Sharon joined the rest of Vee’s immediate family to spend Christmas Day with us. They brought along David’s Christmas present to Sharon: a Nintendo Wii game console.
Now I’m not into gaming and certainly first person shooter games and fantasy games hold no attraction for me, but I quite enjoyed playing bowling and golf on the Wii – which apparently is aimed at a wider consumer base than many other games consoles.

    Hi Roger,
    The Wii is indeed aimed at a wider consumer market: for what other reason would they call it “we”?
    Also the commonly used term “Nintendo Wii” is incorrect, as stated by Nintendo:
    “”Wii sounds like “we,” which emphasizes this console is for everyone. Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion.”
