Wii, lets Play!

This video is an advertisement for Nintendo Wii. The claim that this advertisement seems to be showing is that everyone can play Nintendo Wii. Throughout the video the two asian men continue to tell different people that they want to play Wii. The evidence they present is that they go around to different places, like the city, the country, and small communities, and play Wii with the people that live in those communities.  The evidence they use is presented as facts but when closely analyzed they are more like opinions.
The warrant of this advertisement is that everyone should buy a Nintendo Wii and this is supported by the claim that everyone can play the Nintendo Wii. The people from the different races and from different places help support this claim and therefore the warrant.
In my opinion this advertisement seems to be very convincing because it shows a variety of games being played by all kinds of people and it seems like they are having fun. This also shows that Nintendo Wii has games for all ages and for any member of the family so not just could kids enjoy it but also parents and other adults. It also shows that many of the games are sport games which make people active therefor allowing them to get a fun exercise.

  1. I feel like your last point about the exercise could be a warrant as well. that everyone has a universal view of what exercise is and that everyone thinks its a good idea as well.

  2. I have always liked this commercial. I think it does a really good job of portraying the wii as an easy to use device that will make your life better. It kinda makes me want to buy one.

  3. I like what you all have said, I might would say that the warrant of the clip is that anyone can play the Wii no matter your background, race, or even your location on the globe. It does make people think that they need to go buy the system though.

  4. This is a great advertisement. It shows how everyone can enjoy it, even in a group setting, which appeals to the traditional role of family in the American home.
