Wii (pronounced as the pronoun we, IPA: wii is the fifth home video game console released by Nintendo. The console is the direct successor to the Nintendo GameCube. Nintendo states that its console targets a broader demographic than that of Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3.It competes with both as part of the seventh generation of gaming systems.

A distinguishing feature of the console is its wireless controller, the Wii Remote, which can be used as a handheld pointing device and can detect acceleration in three dimensions. Another is WiiConnect24, which enables it to receive messages and updates over the Internet while in standby mode.

The console was known by the code name of "Revolution" until April 27, 2006, immediately prior to E3.According to the Nintendo Style Guide, the name "is simply Wii, not Nintendo Wii."

Since its launch, the monthly sales numbers of the console have been higher than its competitors across the globe. According to the NPD Group, the Wii has sold more units in North America than the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 combined in the first half of 2007

Wii Console
Stand it up or lay it down -- the Wii console's slot-loading drive will work fine either way. Measuring a little less than three stacked DVD cases, it should also fit easily in any entertainment center. Just make sure you find room for the included sensor bar, which enables the Wii controller to work, and needs to be set horizontally above or below your TV. A concealed slot on the front connects regular SD digital storage cards, and the Wii can also handle Nintendo GameCube controllers, memory cards for saved games, USB devices, or connect to your wireless network.

Wii Controller
Via a combination of high-tech acceleration detectors and an infra-red sensor bar, the Wii's unique controller detects its position, alignment, and speed of movement. It's short on buttons, but you‘ll hardly need them for many Wii games, including the bundled Wii Sports. Just wave the wireless controller in the right direction and you'll swing a racket, throw a ball, aim a gun, or draw a bow. The remote even has built-in storage for your user profile and a small speaker. Hold it sideways, and it's a Nintendo controller. Plug in the (included) nunchuck attachment and you'll have a motion-sensing controller in each hand and enough buttons for even the most complex games. Drop the remote into one of the other planned attachments, and it becomes a steering wheel or a lightgun. This unprecedented versatility may revolutionize the way we think about video games.

Wii Channels
Open up the Wii's TV-like channel system to bring the wide world of Wii right into your living room. Different channels let you keep up with news and weather, surf the Internet, check out message boards, or browse through your photo collection on an inserted SD card. If you're feeling a little more creative, the Mii Channel lets you draw your own avatar to use in games like Wii Sports or save to your controller to take to a friend's house. Best of all, this is where you'll find the Virtual Console channel and the Wii's selection of downloadable games from past consoles like the Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, and Nintendo 64.
