On a slow news day, CNN discovers that retirees enjoy the Wii


As if the news of older individuals enjoying the Wii was anything new to us, CNN found themselves late to the party in reporting it. They focus their story on 82 year old Ruth Ebert, self-explained apathetic towards all things gaming, that is until she got her hands on a Wii. "It was funny, because normally I would not be someone who would do that," Ebert explains after giving a match of Wii Sports: Tennis a go. She ended up losing the match, explaining that such a loss was alright by her as "I didn't mind losing to a video game. It couldn't rub it in." Yeah Ruth, well you try losing to a Mii of Hitler, that hurts.

The rest of the article talks about others in the Virginian retirement community and their experience with the system.
