New kid on the block-Nintendo Wii

October 9th, 2007

The gaming industry or perhaps the gaming market has seen many products in the last few years. Big names like Sony, Microsoft putting a lot of money and effort in taking the top spot as far as the ratings are concerned. It indeed has become a very competetive market and requires daring as well as innovative steps to be taken for every company. And this is the place where Nintendo is well ahead of all its other competetors. When it comes to innovation and creativity as well as taking risks, Nitendo stands tall and more or else eevrytime produces a one of its kind game box. Nintendo Wii is no different.
The Wii itself is the 5th video game console that has been released by the leaders in gaming,Nintendo. This console is successor to GameCube. They suggests that this console has targetted a wider demographic than Microsoft’s Xbox 360 or for that matter Sony's PlayStation 3 too. It has been competing with both as the seventh generation for gaming systems.
A significant feature of this Nintendo Wii is its wiireless controller. The Wii Remote, something that can also be used as handy pointing device, is able to detect acceleration within 3 dimensions. Another one is WiiConnect24, which helps it to get updates and messages through the Internet even when its in the standby mode.
Nintendo primarily spoke of this at the E3 press conference in 2004 and later inaugarated the system in the E3 of 2005. Satoru Iwata, the owner of Nintendo revealed one prototype of its controller in the Tokyo Games Show of 2005. At E3 2006, Wii won several awards, including its first one. By December 8, 2006, Nintendo launched its product in the four major markets of the world. And the week of September 12, 2007 was great for them as Financial Times declared Wii as the sales leader of its genre.

History

The console first was conceived in the year 2001 when the GameCube of Nintendo was being released. According to one interview with their designer for games Shigeru Miyamoto, this concept of Wii focused on a fresh form of interaction of players.
After 2 years, designers and engineers came together to develop this concept further. At the end of 2005, its controller interface had almost taken form, although a show towards the public at the E3 of that year was cancelled. Miyamoto  at that time told that they had some troubleshooting in hand to do, as a result they decided to display the console instead of disclosing the controller. The president of Nintendo Satoru Iwata ,at the Tokyo Game Show, demonstrated and unveiled the Wii Remote.
It is said that the Nintendo DS  have  much influenced the design of Wii. Their designer Ken'ichiro told that while making the Wii they had their DS on mind. They also thought of copying the DS’s interface but later this idea was rejected. They came to the conclusion that the two of their own products cannot be identical. Thus, Wii got its new look and is ruling the market.
