Best Buy Gets Wii Kiosk

I don't know about the rest of you, but there have been 360, PS3, and Wii kiosks for awhile in my area. A few places even have couches and armchairs for people to sit on and play games on a 50" flat-screen TV. The last time I went to one of the Best Buys, no one was sitting because they were all standing and playing GHIII.

 Wii Kiosks are really a different animal than PS3/360/PS2/PS1/N64/GC/Xbox kiosks. The controller makes such a difference. 

When we had a kiosk at my Toys R Us, kids would literally just drop the controller when their parents told them to come at least twice a day. This didn't include any possible chucking and throwing, which I'm sure happens on occassion in some places.

In short, the kiosks for Wii are just hard to do. The best kiosks for the Wii I've seen have been much more expensive ventures: supervised multiplayer Wii with an actual Nintendo rep (or mall rep, perhaps, or whoever is set on duty to supervise) watching over and making sure everything is being done properly.
