Wii Remote belongs on the coffee table.

"I wanted to make the sort of games you could play with your grandmother. I had an image of games not feeling out of place in the living room." - says one of the Wii channels developers in a recent three-way interview published by Nintendo Wii official site.
Wii should be on around the clock or be a first device user switches on when he get ups in the morning. And voilà - there's News and Forecast channel with something fresh to display every day.
So the Wii was clearly designed not to be a hardcore gamer only love but a part of day-by-day life of every family member.
