Wii

Well, being a Gen X, I know little about the Wii.

What I do know, is that selling the Wii at shops which sell sporting equipment is plain wrong.

I'm told that you can play 'sports' on the Wii, how this is possible I have no idea.

I haven't yet seen anyone kicking a Wii around the park, but I have seen people kicking a football around the same park, playing the beautiful game.

It's a genius stroke of marketing, when an electronic box named after urine, can be sold as a tool to play sport.

This is not playing sport, this is simulated sport, the same way as a movie is fiction.

Of course, the Wii is marketed at Gen Ys who wouldn't dare leave their climate conditioned homes in the outer suburbs to play sport, they much much rather pretend to play sport on a television.

I'm so sad to be missing out.
