I knew Wii was *the* mainstream mass market games console but have things gone too far? I saw the above – and if the image isn't working it's basically a poster advertising a Wii Sports night at a pub – the other night. Cue joke about a pint and a Wii. I had planned to blog something about how the Wii is the new pool/darts/fruit machine but this was the first time I've seen any games console, let alone the Wii, in a pub. What next? Halo 3 deathmatch replacing quiz night? Let's hope not eh?
Of course, this isn't the first time consoles have been taken out of their natural habitat. In the mid-90s Playstation was often planted in clubs by a Sony desperate to make gaming "cool". But it's still quite rare to find consoles used as entertainment in public venues.
Anyway it's Monday and I'm interested to know. SNES at football ground? Gamecube in a library? What is the most unexpected place you've seen a games console?
