Though you'd think the latest gaming console would elicit little more than suspicious looks from grandma and grandpa, according to an article in the Christian Science Monitor, it turns out that the Wii has spurred the elderly set to start asking for turns of their own.
Nearly a quarter of Americans over the half-century mark have played video games this year, up from less than ten percent in 1999. Part of this is marketing. Nintendo, for one, is targeting older groups with games like Brain Age. But the Wii's ease-of-use, along with the active but not too active style of play it offers, has proven especially attractive. The favorite? At one retirement community, bowling is the clear winner. And they don't even have to wear the funny shoes.—Gregory Mone
that is most useful retirment to be a common community

I love the Nintendo Wii, it keeps me fit. When I play 'Star Wars: The Force Unleashed' for only ten minutes I was already drenched in sweat. It's a great idea to let grandpa and grandma play the Wii. Not only will it give them the much needed exercise, it will also help connect them with their grandchildren.

Retirement communities should definitely include games and entertainment in the list of activities that can be availed by their residents. Any form of physical activity is sure to benefit the health of the senior citizens.
