Most my family have them

They're not only good for kids. I haven't used mine for a few months, but I haven't been in a gaming mood "Can't really be arsed to play me PS3 either).
The multiplayer option using 1 game cartridge in 1 console, but can have upto 8 players is very good
The "Brain" games are very good, which is why most adults buy them. My son and Nephew have been playing Lego Batman on multiplayer for the past few weeks
