Pharmacys selling Wii/DS - What does this mean for the industry?

[thekitchensink]

I'm in Canada, and I didn't see this when I went to Shoppers Drug Mart yesterday, which is our biggest chain... which chain do you mean?

Also, I'm a guy and I go to these places pretty often--I buy my gaming magazines if I don't have a subscription at the time, I get snacks, paperbacks, movies, that kind of thing, so I don't understand what you're saying about this point.

However, if you're seeing consoles sold at drugstores, it means a number of positive things for the industry:

-Pharmacies are now recognizing them as a legitimate aid to health, instead of being detrimental

-But the bigger thing is: games are becoming more casual (in a good way!). Just as you can go into a drugstore and buy select books and movies, so can you go into a drugstore and buy select games. Definitely a good thing.
