I guess I should clarify.
My wife hated gaming prior to the Wii. However, she warmed up to it:
- when she saw my, her, and my son's Miis for the first time
- when she saw the Everyone Votes channel
- when she saw she didn't have to memorize buttons to play Wii Sports
Apart from the last point, the reasons why are pretty much based on social aspects.
She's not a gamer and still isn't, but she has unwittingly "spread the Wii gospel" to others, saying it's fun and even inviting people over to play and have a good laugh.
I was the one who bought the console, but she has "evangelized" it.
Therefore, why can't Sony's Home cause the same effect in her, or indeed, in any female non-gamer?
The entire social aspect is why the Sims franchise has dominated sales in PC-land, and in no small part due to women non-gamers buying it - and playing it!
