They say they're not getting a Wii because "no-one will play it" (kiddy games, etc.) and they're not getting an Xbox 360 or PS3 because they are too expensive.
The PS2 doesn't get kids reading either - very few people read the books because they want to despite the large and up-to-date selection of books.
Ubuntu. Linux for human beings.
If you are interested in trying Ubuntu or Linux in general, PM me and I will answer your questions and help you install it if you wish.
