i'm 41 have 3 kids(6.5 and 3.5twins) - mainly a pc gamer but i got the wii.
At This Time neither the ps3 nor the 360 have many games that i would allow my 7yr old to play, while on the wii there are many games he can play.
we have fun together playing, the twins love watching mario galaxy or Z&W or sports or M&S@O etc and they are starting to learn to play the wii as well
got 2 gba's for the twins to learn to play, and 2 DS's -one for wife, one for son..
