nov 19, 2006 - Wii is released.
Description:
Nintendo designed this seventh-generation home console to appeal towards a wider audience than those of its main competitors, the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, including "casual" players and audiences that were new to video games. The Wii had lower overall graphics capabilities and does not output in high-definition. The Wii also featured internet-enabled features such as online multiplayer, an online market for virtual copies of games and apps for the Wii as well as older consoles. With these factors, the Wii was a major success for Nintendo. As of March 31, 2016, the Wii has sold 101.63 million consoles worldwide. Wii Sports—a collection of sports minigames that were designed to leverage the Wii Remote, was bundled with the console outside of Japan, and had a major cultural impact as the console's "killer app" among the mainstream audience.
