In a recent interview, Shigeru Miyamoto - the awe-inspiring mind behind the likes of Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, and Nintendogs - claimed that the Wii is the reason that people are suddenly talking about video games again.

“…I do get the distinct feeling that because of the Wii, people all over the world are finally taking notice of video games again, when they havn’t for a while.”

Is the great man wrong? Nah, not at all. There’s little doubt that the Wii’s potential family gaming leanings has opened up video games to a whole new base of gamers, and single-handedly changing an entire demographic. The clever buggers that they are.
