The chicks dig the Wii in Spain

If there's anything we take seriously around here, it's surveys. And, given the results of a recent one conducted in Spain, people there are serious about the loving the Wii. That's something we can get behind. Seriously.

Redundant adjectives aside, this is quite a feat, considering the country had a bad taste in its mouth from Nintendo's last console, the GameCube, where it only sold 200,000 units. The Wii doesn't have that problem, however, as it has shown to be a hit, especially with the older crowd and women in the country.

Why isn't she wearing her wrist strap??

Justin @ Aug 2nd 2007 12:15PM

She doesn't even have the wrist strap attached. Also, Why is she on her knees? Women in Spain are crazy.

Oh, you guys are ker-azy!

It's really easy to tunr anything wii related into something very sexual.

Why is that lady on her knees and why doens't she have her strap on?

I bet if you polled worldwide you'd find a large percentage of women love Wii. And most of them love Nintendo's console, too. ;)

Seriously, though, I've personally seen females ranging from 10 to 60 going crazy to play the Wii and most never touched videogames before. Pretty neat effect.

Hahaha you guys are such dorks...there is a hottie on her knees *ahem* and all you morons notice is that she is not wearing her wrist strap?? AND complaining that she is on her knees? hahahahahahahaha this is just a promotional picture, it's not meant to be realistic.

vidGuy @ Aug 2nd 2007 1:28PM

She's not on her knees anyway. IIRC it's a still from a promo video (or maybe there's a wider version of the shot)... but she's just bending at the knees to hit a low ball in Tennis.

But I'll let you all keep your fantasies going.

As a female Wii player (just got mine 2 weeks ago; have had GC for several years), I have to say one thing I love about the Wii....I've had to put up with my husband making fun of me for the last several years. When I'm furiously pounding away, I sometimes move the remote in the direction I want the character/punch/car/whatever to go. He's always said, "is that going to make it happen faster/stronger/sooner/whatever?" and of course the answer was no. All I have to say now is :P

Other than that, I have no clue why this would suddenly be more popular with women! Especially women who haven't gamed before!!
