In what is most likely a smart social business move, Nintendo executive VP George Harrison maintains a My Space profile. But it doesn’t appear to be all marketing fluff. From his blog:
“As an ‘over 40’ gaming guy myself (OK, a little more than over 40), I have at times felt left behind as my game skills and the time I have to play games have declined over the years. That’s why my Game Boy and my DS make up the majority of my gaming time. As an executive here at Nintendo, I’ve had the chance to play Wii a lot and can tell you that it truly does have the potential to let anyone play. In a little over six weeks I’m looking forward to seeing many others rediscover the fun of gaming through Wii.”

Good ol' George
I'm only 20, but I too have very little time to play video games anymore. I know what he means; most Gamecube games involve devoting a good chunk of time to sit down and play (SSB:M excepted), whereas many DS games are pick up and play. If you only have a few minutes, that's ok.The Wii seems to have quite a few pick up and play titles for launch. Not to mention Wii Sports packed in the box.
