The Nintendo Wii is a new system to combat the release of the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360. The new system has a unique way of playing. You have a Wii Remote, a wireless controller that can detect rotation and motion in three dimensions. 'Nunchuk', which you strap onto and the movements dictate the character on the display. There is also WiiConnect24. This feature enables you to send and receive messages while the system is in stand-by mode. Some of the unique features are from the DS, as the DS is a handheld that allows a stylus to control movements in games.
It is not a technological revolution. There have been Wii-like technology that have been created in the past. The Wii is only a new form of playing video games. Nintendo created Wii Sports as an add-on with the console so that you can play boxing, golf, baseball, bowling, and tennis. This is hype because Nintendo is the first of the 'Big Three' video game developers to create a system using this kind of technology. The target market for the Wii differs from the target markets of Sony and Microsoft. Nintendo is targeting people who have never played video games through motion, while the PS3 and the XBOX360 is created for hardcore gamers and next generation graphics.
There have been so much hype about the Nintendo Wii because this is a system of all ages. However, this technology has been here before, and Nintendo is only using the idea and creating entertaining games for all. This is a system that's definitely recommended.
