Would people who don't play videogames watch a tournament like EVO? You guys talked about Poker, but even though some people might not play it, they probably know how it's played. Fighting games are some of the most simple games to understand, but the mechanics and rules still represent a barrier to one's enjoyment.
Maybe in a few decades, when a larger number of people are used to the traits of videogames in general, we'll be able to watch a tournament like EVO on TV.
Since you guys like Silent Hill you should try Silent Hill Shattered Memories for the Wii. It was one of those early Wii games so it uses a lot of motion controls, but it's pretty good.
