Wii attracting a wide audience

I was browsing around and come across an article about the Wii.
http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/fun.games/03/23/wii.retirees.reut/index.html Pretty much it says that the Wii, although less powerful than the XBOX 360 or PS3, was doing more successful because if it's cheaper price and wider appeal. The article tells how the elderly have fun playing with the Wii. Here's a quote, "The Wii outsold the new Microsoft and Sony consoles in January and February and is generating its own buzz with everyone from nuns to cancer patients to toddlers."
With this type of ability, one can only imagine how it can be used in the education world.
