Well done matching his needs with a system, you played the role of a true salesperson there. I'm sure his kids will get him to "upgrade" to PS3 in a few years 
(read thread elsewhere on this site before you flame me).
Poor form on the priacy front though old bean. Have you not heard of used games? Oh that's right Mom & Pop gave you a free used game for your services. If you can afford to buy a brand spanking new gaming console then you can afford to buy used games. No excuses from my perspective. If the guy was willing to part with the dough for a PS3 then buying a Wii left him with a fair bit of available money to spend on software for it.
