About:
The Nintendo Wii, which first debuted in 2006, features wireless motion-sensor controllers. The system broke records in December 2009, selling more units in a single month than any other game system in history. The Wii was designed to attract a wider demographic than its higher-priced competitors, the Xbox 360 and Playstation3, and appeals to more nontraditional gamers in addition to those considered typical gamers. The Wii console's library of games offers easy-to-learn games that make the console popular in senior centers and other unexpected places. The Wii is the only system that comes standard with motion controllers, which allow players to swing like it's a bat when playing baseball or use it as a magic wand in a magical wizarding game. Of all three major consoles, the Wii is by far the least expensive. In addition, it has the lowest-quality graphics. Nintendo offers popular console exclusive games including Mario Kart, Super Mario Galaxy, Legend of Zelda, Metroid Prime and Donkey Kong Country. The next generation, Wii U, is expected in 2012, so expect dropping prices on current models.
