Wii

Nintendo plans on selling 35 million Wii consoles by 2012. That’s astounding considering most people had cast it off for the better graphics of the XBOX 360 and Playstation3. This has caused production for the Wii to go up. The Wii has currently sold much more consoles than the XBOX 360 and Playstation3 combined for a total of 360,000 units. I feel that this is a powerful statement that gameplay and content is much more important than graphics and visuals. Just look at how hard it is to buy a Wii compared to the PS3 and 460. If game play is what one is looking for, then the Wii wins by a longshot with classic Nintendo titles such as Mario, Zelda, and Samus. “The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess” is a testament to the Wii’s success. Its perfect ratings in nearly all gaming magazines shows how careful depth and organization of game play beats graphics every time. It is very rare for any game to achieve a perfect rating. Plus, the Wii is designed to reach out to gamers of all ages. It has even become a staple in retirement homes, adding excitement and fun with each swing of the bat or bowl down the lane. I personally own a Wii and love it. Even the simplistic “Wii Sports” that comes with the game extremely addicting and a joy to play at all times. With its innovative style, it is easy to see why Nintendo is still number one.
