My brother, who went on to convince his coworkers.

They play a lot of GHIII.

I think most of them don't even know it's on other consoles.

Normally, I don't make it my business to convince people. I thought it would be a good way for him to get his wife playing.

They used to throw Wii parties every week, for the first year they had it.

I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

As most people are pointing out, "convince" is the wrong word. All you have to do is let them play it and then they start looking for one.

As others have already noted, people playing with mine and/or watching have gone out and bought them with no direct prodding as the Wii really sells itself (it'd also be a much quieter Internet if more fanboys could just learn to accept this simple fact).
