Wii Gets Royal Support

This isn't an amazing new hardware release at CES I'm afraid, just an interesting story about the Wii. According to a "royal insider," the Queen of the United Kingdom, Elizabeth II, has discovered the Wii to be quite an entertaining console. Apparently Prince William received the console from his girlfriend for Christmas, and when the Queen saw her grandson playing on it she decided it might be fun to have a go herself. The anonymous royal insider said the following:
When she saw William playing a game after lunch at Sandringham she thought the Nintendo looked tremendous fun and begged to join in. His only difficulty now is prising it away from the Queen's clutches. She showed all the signs of becoming a Nintendo addict.
Nintendo's marketing strategy of trying to appeal to as wide an audience as possible certainly seems to be working!

Try not to think of it that way.. think of it more as a famous old women of a presumably respectable background playing with her grandson's wee.. err.. um.. "Wii". ;)
