To Wii Or Not To Wii That Is The Question!
Since Nintendo first released the Wii in 2007 it has been flying off the shelves at every single store in America and in other countries as well. But what is it that makes this console in particular so incredibly popular? Well for one thing, the Wii isn’t just another console and its unlike anything we have ever seen since the years when Atari was first released. This gaming console is one in which you can actually interact with the game, and now with the new iFit coming out, it has blasted through any other system thus far. You would think everyone would love these consoles right? I mean since September of 2008 there have been over 34.55 million units have been shipped to North America, South America, Japan, and other regions. One would think that Japan would have been this unit ships however Japan is only at 6.91 million whereas South America and North America are at 15.19 million and The financial Times reported that as of September 12, 2007 its sales has been the leader of its generation. One of the named features of this console in particular is its wireless controller also called a remote which can be used in a handheld pointing device and detect movement in three dimensions.
With all of these major record statistics you would think everyone would love a Wii, but actually its quite the opposite. People often refer to this as the “kiddy system” with its interactive roots, and play like attributes, a lot of people don’t see this system in particular a real system. I guess for my generation we figure if we cant just be lazy and sit on a couch then it must be a stupid idea. I don’t particularly feel the same way some of these people do! in fact, I think that the unique factors about the Wii does make it an incredible gaming console and a REAL system, tried and true. Nintendo shot most of the other consoles out of the water because it IS an interactive system! That was the point! To make people get off their couches and start actually moving more than just their fingers.
When I first heard of the Wii and iFit I thought it was an incredibly amazing idea to get everyone and anyone involved, old or young. To get people to participate in a activity in which they could also have fun and potentially get peoples hearts pumping with games like Guitar Hero and Boxing. I mean there literally is no other innovator like Nintendo out there. Gaming consoles are a dime a dozen and every single year a new one comes out; console, handheld or otherwise. Frankly, I don’t think anyone will ever catch up with the unique inventive material that Nintendo did when they released the Wii, and even if they did down the line, there will still be millions upon millions who will remember Wii have conquered the gaming universe!
