That shouldn't come as a surprise. The Wii has a broader appeal than the other systems. You're not going to see a lot of seniors playing a PS3 or Xbox 360, but they do enjoy playing the Wii, do to its interaction, and the types of games available, that do appeal to older as well as younger players. coastie65

I believe the biggest factor is price. Drop the Ps3 or Xbox 360 to $200 dollars and see how fast they fly out the door. I have all three systems and the Wii is the least played. When we rent or buy a game for the Wii it is usually played for less than a week.
