Talking Re: Nintendo copies Microsoft!
The nintendo one is a acctally good idea because you have to focus on the screen and move around=good excersise and Xbox...all you do is like press buttons...= no excersise and wii has good graphics and better games/channels so...yeahh the wii i think is the best one of them plus also the wii sold out faster than xbox 360 and wii is hard i mean HARD to find in stores most of the time!soo the wii in hospitals is a :cool: idea even though microsoft came up with the idea first!

Re: Nintendo copies Microsoft!
if kids cant move im sure they can use virtcual channel games or gamecube games without the gamecube controller. If they are allowed to move they can maybe use the wiimote....

I think I had surgery on my sub-mucus cleft pallet (or w/e it's called) when I was 2 at the L.A. Children's Hospital. Cool that they're bringing Wiis to there... I don't think too many sick children will be playing Halo :>

Re: Nintendo copies Microsoft!
this is good both ways. nintendo wii's will be for kids who aren't bedridden and the 360 is foir the kids who are (e.g) broken legs/ heart problems
