I don't know a Wii from a Wii Wii but I got a call last week from the wife of an Asian friend. She doesn't speak English too well and was having a hard time finding one. She asked me if I could find her one. I often get calls from Asians who have cross cultural problems or who have problems understanding American systems, sometimes as basic as how plumbing works. Anyway I am their problem solver.
I called some stores, found one and picked it up. Now I have a dozen more requests from their friends. Apparently it has become accepted in the Asian community as an alternative to television.
