If you have any skill in the art of pursuation... you will have her won over in no time. I can give you a few pointers: Always always play down the cons. Come to a compromise that you won't waste too much time on the Wii. Say you'll do all your homework before playing. Put it this way, if she is willing to hear some pros and cons... you pretty much have it in the bag already. Just play it smart and you'll have a Wii soon.

is the Wiis internet like computer speed or like the PSP? the PSP was slow

We need some background info.

Like, did she play video games when she was younger? If so, color her sold. Tell her that the classics like Mario will be available to play. I'll give you an example.

Both of my parents were from the Atari generation. I still remember them sitting in front of the TV playing Kaboom and Missile Command. I also remember having to kick my Dad out of the bedroom so i could go to bed when I got the first Zelda.

It all depends. Like someone said before...downplay the Cons and BEG! Bribe her if you have to. "Yes mom, i'll paint the house, Yes, mom, i'll scoop the cat litterbox for a year..."

The PSP's control scheme was so frustrating, I gave up on it. I'd say it's in the middle in the two judging from just the loading on the Shopping Channel. Not great speed, but completely bearable... unlike the PSP.
