I've always found it amazing that despite all the differences in world cultures, lifestyles and value systems on this planet, there's always certain constants that can span across all of them, no matter where you are located - the Wii is popular all over the palce.
As an example... at any given time, some high-level gamers in big competitions in Tokyo are playing on the same console as a bunch of businessmen taking a break in a hotel room in Switzerland, who are playing on the same console as a bunch of drunken frat boys in a dorm room in New York , who are playing on the same console as a bunch of waiters in the back-room of a restaurant in Singapore. None of these groups relate to each other in any way or even speak the same language, and are thousands of miles apart and lead very different lives... but they all enjoy playing the Wii. To me, this just seems amazing.
