Nintendo Wii

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6297483.stm

'Japanese firm Nintendo has seen profits jump in the nine months from April to December, thanks to popularity of its new Wii games machine and DS console.'

Nintendo Wii has proved extremely popular boosting Nintendo's profit by 43%

'The Wii is competing with Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's Playstation 3, which has faced production problems.'

'
Names such as Mario, Pokemon and Donkey Kong are traditionally associated with Nintendo, but the company has also introduced games targeted at older players, such as Brain Training for Adults, which have sold well. The success of the Wii and DS has already led Nintendo to set bolder profit forecasts for the full financial year. It recently predicted that profits would rise by 28% to 185bn yen for the year to 31 March.'

By supplying games for all ranges, boosts the sales more because they are beginning to have a larger target audience.

There have been one or two problems but Nintendo coped with these problems well and Nintendo Wii's are again wanted by alot of children, teenagers and adults.

I know many people who have Nintendo Wii's and they think that the new console is amazing and them their parents and younger siblings all find it simple to use and enjoyable.

I have now actually played on a Nintendo Wii...and i am much more interested in them. I played on it for only on it for a minute or two but i did find it quite funny...yet maybe a little embarrassing...and im sure the...talented...person in the video below should be too =P....
I would even buy one from experience because it was so different from any other console i have played on:
  • The controller is in the shape on something that we use everyday..a remote controller and works like one as muchas it looks like one..e.g you point it at the console to use it, it's the same shape as a control etc.
  • The controller and console also allows for a much more 'excersize' experience and ability to move around more freely due to wireless which also means a much enjoyable experience.
  • It is much more interactive in my opinion than any other console i have been on because you feel much more like you are in the game rather than just moving our thumbs
  • The console itself it very small.
Overall i think the NintendWii is one of the best consoles i have ever played on!
