Well, my hubby and I are both in our 50's and we have the wii and love it! The sports games (my favorites, bowling and tennis) are lots of fun. We also got the wii fit and like that also. I have grandkids and they love it too, it's great for all ages. Tons of games are available, on discs and you can also download lots of the old nintendo games, like Donkey Kong, Mario bros, tons of them. Don't worry, you won't be sorry you got the wii!
