Video consoles
Video consoles, which is a big chunk of that market, are currently dominated by two giants: Sony with its Playstation (PS1&2 and soon PS3) and Microsoft with its Xbox (Xbox and Xbox360). Nintendo, however, a distant third actor is raising eyebrows with its recent introduction of the Wii.
Nintendo’s new Wii video game system sold through to more than 600,000 consumers in the Americas in just its first eight days of availability. Nintendo has not been able to keep up with the demand for its mega-hit console. Now thousands of desperate consumers who can’t find the Wii on store shelves have turned to web outlets like Amazon (AMZN) and eBay (EBAY), where they’re paying a premium to get one.
Why Wii is different
Wii is creating worldwide excitement with its unique control system, an inventive, first-of-its-kind controller whose position can be detected in a 3-D space. The new controller allows users pinpoint target in games or move through the Wii Channel Menu with precision and ease.
Nintendo Wii Fit with Wii Balance Board turns your living room into a fitness center for the whole family. Family members will have fun getting a "core" workout, and talking about and comparing their results and progress on a new channel on the Wii Menu.
Nintendo fans will really appreciate that the unit also has four ports for GameCube controllers and two GameCube memory card ports. Two USB 2.0 ports are available for optional accessories such as the Wii LAN (Ethernet) adapter.
Gamers can play games with their friends and can also access news and other online information because the Wii has an internet connection.
Wii Sports
Games like tennis and golf, for example, actually require players to physically swing the controller as if it were a tennis racket or golf club. By doing so, they can cause the game to react right along with their movements.
With Nintendo Wii not only you will have a lot of fun, but with sport pack you can make exercises and keep a good physical shape.
