Flash Focus helps with spatial and multitasking. A lot of women and old people are not able to look at multiple things at once. They have very narrow vision and things like say a rts or sim game confuse the heck out of them since they cannot keep track and respond fast enough.
Nintendo did a press release about the game. Here is one relevant paragraph:
"It might sound like a strange concept, but top athletes have long used high-tech computerized visual training programs to give them an edge on the baseball diamond, basketball court and football field. Now Nintendo makes this remarkable technology available to anyone who wants to have fun while tracking improvements in the various visual exercises. It's a great tool for moms who like to keep a "peripheral vision" watch on their kids or for people who want an edge spotting holiday sales"
Have you seen the commericals for it? They are quite eye catching and the price is a visual treat for game buyers.
