Didn't know if this should go in News or Gaming, so I'll let you cool mods decide.
This morning I caught this story (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23070190/wid/11915829?GT1=10856) talking about the Wii while I was having my cup of coffee.
Here is an excerpt:
"They're getting improved endurance, strength, coordination. I think it's very entertaining for them," Penny said.
"It really helps the body to loosen up so it can do what it's supposed to do," said Billy Perry, 64, a retired Raleigh police officer.
He received Wii therapy at WakeMed after suffering a stroke on Christmas Eve.
Perry said he'd seen his grandchildren play Wii games and was excited when a hospital therapist suggested he try it.
He said Wii tennis and boxing helped him regain strength and feeling in his left arm.
"It's enjoyable. I know I'm going to participate with my grandkids more when I go visit them," Perry said.

After getting my heartstrings pulled on this morning I have come to the conclusion that the Wii is making the world a better place. It's too bad the only game I like for it is Wii Sports :\
