The Wii was designed as a universal product, suitable for all.
One main game that is accosiated with the Wii, is 'Wii fit', the Wii fit is designed for family
enjoyment and to help with getting fit.
The Wii has its advantages and disadvantages. An advantage is the fact that it can be used
to listen to music the techonolgy is alot more high tech than other games consoles.
Disadvantages of the Wii fit are as follows: The Games console itself is quite expensive to purchase, the price can range from £170 - £257.12 depending on the make of the Wii.
The leading game (The Wii fit) averages at a cost of about £90.
So although the Wii is a goods gaming console to own as far as advanced technology goes the fact of the matter is that it ia very expensive gaming console to mantain with the latest up to date games etc.
Reason that the Consumer would purchase the Wii over other leading platforms such as PS3 etc, is that the Wii is probably the most advanced as far as technology goes. also it is one of the most up to date of the few leading platforms.
Here is a proffesional IT of the Nintendo Wii
Arguably, the Nintendo Wii is the most important console launch in some time. The reason? Its ethos is different. While Sony and Microsoft are happy to slug it out for the fast performance crown, Nintendo - as it did with the DS handheld machine - has popped off in the opposite direction and tried something different.
To an extent, Nintendo tried this with the Game Cube too, which it sold as a gaming box rather than any kind of multimedia machine. The result? It was perceived as a kids' toy and the numbers nearly wiped Nintendo out of this particular segment of the console market.

That won't be happening with the Wii, though. The first reason is a resurgent, confident Nintendo, whose persistence with its way of thinking has resulted in the huge success of the DS, where it was tipped to fail against the technically superior Sony PSP. The second reason is that Nintendo has been bolder with the Wii, and it really does deliver good fun.
The specs inside the box are fairly modest and well known, easily eclipsed by Sony and Microsoft's latest console juggernauts. But it's the way you interface with the machine that's won the headlines to date, and rightly so.
The main Wii control looks like a remote control, albeit with a speaker and motion sensors built in. It's a wireless device, and a flexible one at that. Using the Wario Ware Smooth Moves game, at times you need to turn it horizontally and grip it like handlebars, whereas in the tennis segment of Wii Sports you turn side on and swing it like a tennis racquet.
The tanks game within Wii Play and the boxing segments of Wii Sports require you to plug an extra controller into this remote, and the result is staggeringly intuitive. Picture a ten pin bowling minigame where you literally do a bowling motion. Or an air hockey-type game where you wave your controller around, with the movements replicated on-screen by your paddle. It's delightfully simple and yet adds a genuinely fresh perspective to what otherwise would be fairly unspectacular software.
What's more, when we went along, you could barely wipe the grin off our faces. The software titles that play to the Wii's strengths are tremendous fun, accessible for all levels of gamer and contain plenty to enjoy. Multiplayer can be just awesome.
The box itself is small, lightweight and easily expandable. It'll support old Game Cube games and controllers and it'll also sport the Virtual Console, which we didn't get a chance to play with, where you can buy and download old Nintendo classics for a couple of quid apiece.
There are downsides, of course. Much though we enjoyed first person shooter Red Steel - and that works a treat with the Wii controller - the graphical limitations of the machine shone through, against something like Call Of Duty 3 on Xbox 360. We also found that in one or two games the controller can be a little too sensitive, demanding that you point it exactly at the screen. And while the Wii-centric software we've seen is both great fun and exciting, we wonder how third party franchises will fare.

Here is some promotional material i got from the internet for the nintendo Wii:
When connected to the internet, the Wii console will download promotional material straight from Nintendo, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata recently told Tech On.
The Wii will push promotional content to users connected to the internet
It might take a little bit of getting used to, but Nintendo's Wii system will take an unusually active role in promoting Nintendo's video game content.
Nintendo's CEO, Satoru Iwata, recently told site Tech On that the Nintendo Wii will serve as a sort of promotional vehicle for other Nintendo titles, including games for the handheld DS.
In giving an example of this functionality, Iwata gave the following scenario: "Users would wake up each morning, find the LED lamp on their Wii flashing, and know that Nintendo has sent them something. They would then be able to download the promotional demo from their Wii's to their Nintendo DS's."
We still don't have full details on precisely how this process will work, but more details should be coming in the following months.
