Brain training
Source: Cabel Sasser's blog
The #1 video game in Japan isn't a game. It's a Nintendo DS application that trains your brain to be smarter. Using the DS touch screens you do simple, interesting exercises and then it calculates your "mental age" and tracks your progress. In the first week it sold 414,556 copies and it continues to be the #1 video game. In the same period 390,181 Nintendo DS units were sold - that's more than every other hardware system that week, combined. There are a lot of people who could play video games but don't, because the right software isn't there. Wake up and read the writing on the wall, game companies.
