I hate to be the devil's advocate here, but how many times do you think this will happen:
WBC: Whiny Brat on Christmas
SC: His equally bratty SC mom
HR: Hapless retailer
WBC: (after about 30 seconds of minimal effort) MooooooooomEEEEEEE!! It's not WOORKIIIING!!!
SC: *goes to store in a huff* This is DEFECTIVE!!! I want a REFUND!
HR: What's wrong with it, ma'am?
SC: The ball doesn't move!!
HR: Did your child focus on making the ball move?
SC: Are you saying my son is STUPID!!?!!?!? GET ME YOUR MANAGER!!!!
HR:

"I saw a flock of moosen! There were many of 'em. Many much moosen. Out in the woods- in the woodes- in the woodsen. The meese want the food. The food is to eatenesen."
My first reaction. HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!! THATS SO COOL.
Then I thought: But its just a ball you move up and down, would get kind of boring after awhile then.... I remembered pong, so so simple, but it was so cool because it was the 'first' video game and look how far things have went in gaming technology since then.
Now just think how that device will change in the next 5-10 yrs. OMG That kicks soooooooooo much ass.

Wow to the nth degree. We have certainly come a long way, and yes I think the analogy with Pong is accurate. That was a very simple game, but opened the door (yes I know it was actually other games earlier than that) to a fantastic gaming market with phenominal growth in capability of design and interactivity.
The down side of this toy is that it misses the basic human desire for dominat er, competition. Instead of up and down it should go back and forth horizontally - one player forcing it one way, a SECOND forcing it the other. After all, Luke's just an overeager farmer w/o Darth to contend against.
ooh! Make it zap the loser when it gets to his end of the tube too!
