In Nintendo's tireless pursuit to reach
every single demographic ever, they've partnered up with Westin Hotels to stick
Wii Sports and
Wii Fit setups in the hotel chain's exercise rooms. Why is this particular outreach unique? Think about it: they're targeting people who exercise when they're
not even home! We hate to repeat hurtful stereotypes but, while the gamers we know may not be as sedentary as some would have you believe (read: our advertisers), they're not really the type to pack a pair of running shoes next to their PSP for their next business trip. Result: new demographic.
Just in case you are the type to excercise while staying at a hotel and you accidentally stumbled here while looking for the Runner's World magazine website, we've included a list of the first 10 participating Westin hotels after the break.
- The Westin Times Square, New York City
- The Westin Bellevue, WA
- The Westin Hilton Head
- The Westin Crown Center, Kansas City
- The Westin Harbor Castle, Toronto
- The Westin Diplomat, Hollywood
- The Westin St. Francis, San Francisco
- The Westin St. Louis
- The Westin Galleria, Houston
- The Westin Savannah Harbor

Who would base their decision to book a hotel room on the fact that they have a Wii in the hotel gym? The same crowd who scour the web looking at all the fine details and features before they book (online of course!)
In any case, the cost for a company that size is comparably less than the weight of one of my farts.
