Time to but Wii 10/24/2008
 

As a seventh-generation console, the Wii primarily competes with Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3. The Wii was released as a home video game console by Nintendo. A good reason to buy Wii was its wireless controller, the Wii Remote, which can be used as a handheld pointing device and detect movement in three dimensions.  Nintendo states that its console targets a broader demographic than that of both. The Financial Times reported that as of September 12, 2007, the Wii is the sales leader of its generation, based on sales figures from Enterbrain, NPD Group, and GfK.

Nintendo first spoke of the console at the 2004 E3 press conference and later unveiled the system at the 2005 E3. Satoru Iwata revealed a prototype of the controller at the September 2005 Tokyo Game Show. At E3 2006, the console won the first of several awards.By December 8, 2006, it had completed its launch in four key markets. Since its launch, the monthly sales numbers of the console have been higher than its competitors across the globe, with more people ready to buy Wii, over X Box.
