Wii



Wii is a home video game made by Nintendo. It leads the nation in sales and is the most played video game now. In December 2009 it broke the record for best-selling console in a single month in the United States.

The Wii has a wireless controller which can be used as a handheld pointing device and detects movements in three dimensions. another feature is the Wii Connect24, which enables it to recieve messages and updates over the Internet.

Children today play video games way to much, so i guess having a video game where they are more involved is better then the regular games. Wii now has Wii Sports and Wii play. These games get the children active and they actually do the motion they want their character to preform.
