There can be no doubting that the Nintendo Wii, despite the still extremely silly name even after living with it for a couple of months, has been something of a gaming revolution. Not because of the power of the console, Nintendo has no gone down the Hi-Def, triple core, HD-DVD, Blu-ray, yada yada yada path of Microsoft and Sony, and it has done sales little harm. Nope, this revolution is being backed by good old fashioned fun.
The factor that has all but been somehow forgotten in the competitive rush to be crowned kings of gaming hardware, it would seem to me. yet the Wii is a revelation as well as revolution, anyone can pick it up and play. Literally. The controller makes playing any game both easy and incredible fun, and there are games aplenty to exploit the enjoyment.
Let’s face it, the Nintendo Wii is a family gaming sensation and there is very little that anyone can say about it in a derogatory fashion. And that's the problem. The parent company does well to keep out of the political battle of wills and dirt slinging competitions that one has come to expect from both Microsoft and Sony, preferring to let the games do the talking. So it should come as no surprise that we, the media, have to be a little more creative in conjuring up sensational, attention grabbing headlines (what did you think of mine, by the way?)
