The Wii is Nintendo’s Answer to the XBox 360 and PS3
The Wii is Nintendo’s Answer to the XBox 360 and PS3
While Sony and Microsoft have gone for grunt and multimedia extravagance on their next-gen consoles, Nintendo has gone down a different path.
The Nintendo Wii, which was launched in Australia today (7 December), nintendo wii is certainly much less powerful a box than the Xbox 360 or the
upcoming PlayStation 3.
The Wii is much smaller than a 360.
Design
Those expecting their next-generation games consoles to be nintendo wii fit big and bulky (a la the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3) will be more than
surprised when they see the Wii in the flesh.
The unit itself is available only in pearl white in Australia. The smooth exterior of the Wii looks quite appealing, and is overall a much
better finish than the off-white the Xbox 360 comes in. Most of the unit’s surface is clutter-free. The front of the Wii features the disc
loading slot, which glows a nice shade of blue when inserting or removing discs.
But it does feature an innovative new control system which aims to take the complexity out of playing and bring on-gamers into the fold. Has
Nintendo succeeded?
