Dude, i have got to talk my pub into doing this, although i do not need another reason to go to the bar, i bet it would be a hit:
“I had this back room and it’s an unusual space,” explains Adam. “At the weekends, when we have the DJ in, it’s great. During the week I thought ‘how can we use it?’ I have a big projector so I thought ‘why not get a Wii?’” A self-confessed ‘games nerd’ himself, Adam says the £180 console has more than paid for itself. Free for customers to use, it “makes people stay longer”, he says. “The last people to leave will always, always be the people playing the Wii. Selling another 10 pints at 10:45pm, it quickly pays for itself.” The only problem, he says, is that because of the much-publicised Christmas rush to buy Wiis before stocks ran out, he has had difficulty tracking down extra controllers to meet demand.
