Some extraction about WII from WIKIPEDIA
The Wii (ウィー?, pronounced /ˈwiː/, like the pronoun we) is a home video game console released by Nintendo. As a seventh-generation console, the Wii primarily competes with Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3. Nintendo states that its console targets a broader demographic than that of both.[6] As of December 31, 2008 the Wii leads the generation over the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in worldwide sales.[1] .
Units shipped Worldwide: 52.62 million (as of June 30, 2009)[1] (details
Using the Wii is often seen as being more physically demanding than other game consoles.[147] Some Wii players have occasionally experienced a form of tennis elbow referred to as "Wiiitis."[148] A study published in the British Medical Journal states that Wii players use more energy than playing sedentary computer games. It is however indicated that while this energy increase may be beneficial to weight management, it is not an adequate replacement for regular exercise.[149] A case study published in the American Physical Therapy Association’s journal Physical Therapy focused on use of the Wii for rehabilitation of a teen with cerebral palsy. It is believed to be the first published research showing the physical therapy benefits resulting from use of the gaming system. Researchers say the gaming system complements traditional techniques.[150]

I played video games with kids before. They just keep punching without thinking, that is why they win.
We, the old folks, tend to think before act, that is why we fail...we think too much, and lost the oppoturnity to act right on time.
Teck Ann,
Kids spend more time in video game, they practice more, that is also the reason they win most of time.
Just like Xin Yi, she always ask when can she play the computer game ? and for how long ?
