Introducing the Shii: 'Casual' gaming's natural conclusion photo

I believe this clip is from some Dutch sketch show or other. It showcases a product known as The Shii, a console designed for women when the men are too busy hogging all the motion-controlled fun. While a rather basic sketch, it should amuse you on some level. Probably won't though.

For me, however, this video is interesting because I can't help thinking that this is where games are headed. Perhaps this is a stark vision of the future, or a present we are as yet unwilling to accept. Anyway, hit the jump for the video, which we are blatantly posting only because it's Sunday.

I wish my wiimotes had the accuracy that those guys' appear to have!
Speaking of the Shii though, and more to the point 'Suckend Life' I can't help but imagine how hilarious it would be if in a few years when the Wii 20XX is kicking about the original Wii degenerates into some sort of porn simulation tool, overran by obscure german devs with one focus in mind...
For that to happen though they'll have to incorporate some sort of swallowing sensor into the whole setup!

It shii? If thats the future of gaming, I would call it quits, but its not. The market for the hardcore will always be there.

But It does showcase what women are only good for. XD

I joke. My girl would kill me if she saw this. :D

Honestly, I don't know why all of those games haven't been produced already.

Suckend Life would sell millions for sure.

Bit of an eye roller but the end is worth half a giggle.
I could actually imagine some morons inquiring where they may find these games. I mean there are existing cooking games.

What the hell was she swallowing at the end? The Shiimotes clearly have more features than a standard controller....
