Nintendo Wii: Big in Japan!!!

Nintendo Wii, once the outsider of gaming console battle, crushed its competition, Sony’s PS3 in Japan. According to an article posted by Bloomberg, Nintendo sold twice as many Wiis game consoles in Japan as Sony has sold of its PlayStation 3.
Nintendo's $250 Wii, released the same week in November as the PS3 - at a cost between $500 and $600.
The figures appeared to vindicate Nintendo's revolutionary approach which emphasized fun games aimed at casual players who could control the action using an innovative motion-detection remote control unit.In contrast Microsoft and Sony both offer higher powered and more expensive machines that feature better graphics quality and are far more expensive. Both companies also positioned their consoles as the centerpiece of a digital entertainment system.
