When I saw Milo at last E3 I thought it was amazing. Having a virtual kid to hang with is sorta cool. I think their are plenty of casual applications for a virtual boy. Think a second about old folks homes where the people don't get visitors and are dying for some attention or hospitals where patients are marooned for weeks, months at a time.
Nintendo made content that could be used by non-gamers and I think Milo does what Nintendon't. I can already imagine how much joy an old lady or man might get out of having a virtual friend. Or how about an inmate serving a 20-year sentence with nobody to talk too (In a good sense).Or how about the poor bullied kid who's self esteem is in the shitter and could use every friend he can get? Or lastly what about the parent who's kids have grown up and left the house, a parent who misses having a kid.
Honestly Milo has alot of applications for the non-gamer which is the fasted growing segment of gamers (Ironically) fact is even myself as a gamer am exited as to the prospects of Milo.
