what about a nintendo wii. we have one and my children are 5 alost 6 (her words) and 3 they love playing tennis and golf as well as mario party 8 most of the sports games require you to get up off the couch in order to play them. I would reccomend it to any parent who is afraid theier kid is going to become a couch drooling game player if they purchase an xbox or playststion.
