What console would be best for her style? She has a lot of grandchildren, and cousins and her friends from the old person home like to come over too.

Get a basic 360 because it's not physically demanding. Even grandmothers can discriminate among games to pick out the shovelware. Alternately, find a GameCube or Nintendo 64. Gaming can be a really cheap hobby if you find old stuff.

When it comes to generational fun, then the Wii is a clear winner.  That way games that suit the group and the individuals will be there for all.

There's just as many crappy, easy to play kids games on the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3. This automatic assumption that the Wii is the best console for a non-gamer is such horseshit.

But you fail to realize that non-gamers don't know the difference between the good games and the bad ones. And with the Wii's plethora of bad ones, all granny can see is a sea of gold.

Wii or DS. One of them. Prob. the Wii because the DS would be to small and dexterity playing a role in that.

The marketing campaigns seem to point towards the Wii.

The difference is accessibility.  

Thanks for acknowledging that the PS3 and 360 has just as many crappy kiddy games to play.  Refreshing to read that.

The difference however. is the plethora of fun, family friendly and good multiplayer games that are uniquely exclusive to the Wii.



I suspect this whole thread was flame bait anyway :P
