Golden Globe Winner Kate Winslet Thinks the Wii Is Great

The Nintendo Wii is nothing short of a sales miracle in today's harsh market, which is affected by the recession. Its wide appeal to a variety of demographics made it a must buy for quite a lot of people and managed to pull the industry after it in terms of sales and popularity.

But Nintendo's small white box isn't popular with just average people, because, as it seems, celebrities and even the President of the United States, Barrack Obama, are also getting into the Wii hype and are using it to relax with their own families or to have fun after a hard day of shooting on various locations. The latest actress to endorse the popular Japanese console is Golden Globe winner Kate Winslet, who has recently talked about her fun experiences.

When asked by a reporter about her reaction to the Oscar nominations she had just received, she revealed that at the time she was playing on the Wii with her son. She said that, although Wii Tennis was a great experience, the most hilarious one was Wii Boxing, which really made her laugh and have a good time in the company of her family.

“It was extraordinary, I was playing Wii Tennis with my son,” the actress relayed to E! Television. “It is fantastic. The boxing is the funniest thing of all. Because you're boxing the air... I'm watching my little five year old go [convincing Wii Sports boxing sounds]. It's hysterical.”

So it seems that the Wii is truly becoming a worldwide phenomenon and is currently making Nintendo recession proof, which can't be said about its main rivals, Sony and Microsoft, who are employing drastic cost-cutting measures, with their staffs suffering a pretty severe headcount reduction.

There you have it – when you'll be playing Wii Sports, remember that even celebrities are having a great time doing what you do. Hopefully, this will make gaming a more mainstream culture and more people will start playing video games.
