Saw an old couple checking out PC games at EBGames; either for their grandchildren or for themselves. I say old gamers are win. :D The more people playing games of any kind, the better! :O
Plus I assume that the older generations wouldn’t be all into the pirating scene, so they’ll generate actual monies for game companies!
I recently busted my 4 year old playing mariokart with his 77 year old grandfather who is riddled with arthritis. I hadn’t seen him get that much into a game since the 80s. Even though the Wii tends to be the joke of the gaming community, it really is a console that is able to reach to all age ranges.
Good on them. I think it’s great that videogames are being embraced by other generation. I reckon the Wii is the ‘gateway drug’ to get more people gaming.

Oh, they’re playing a Wii?
Never mind.
