An unexpected benefit of this sea change is the positive impact this is having on the disabled and seniors. The controls allow players to take part in activities that they are no longer able to perform comfortably in public. For example, a multiple sclerosis patient recently wrote that she is able to use the Wii to have bowling tournaments with friends and family. Due to her condition she has not been able to bowl for years but the Wii let's her once again participate in one of her favorite activities.
