Now that the Nintendo Wii is easily available, there is no need to conjecture about it's speed and memory. It has the Broadway processor which was developed jointly with IBM, founded upon IBM's PowerPC-based processor. It uses a DVD drive; however, the drive cannot be used for running movies, only for Nintendo games. You can now play with the Wii and find out exactly what are it's major highlights.

First of all, the Wii is fairly easy to set up. The console's design and user instructions make it clear that this is a mature product from a company that has the background in creating consumer goods.

The Nintendo Wii has completely changed the way gaming controllers are made. The Wii's controller looks more like a TV remote control than a game controller. It has integrated motion sensors so, for example, to swing a tennis racket, you simply move your hand as though you were really swinging a racket. Also, the controllers supply the players with responses at various times such as they vibrate when you point them towards clickable buttons, or they produce a sound when two players are playing bowls.

The Nintendo Wii system is compatible with Gamecube games as well as the Gamecube controller even though the two systems use very dissimilar controllers. The Wii also has the ability to download games from the original Nintendo (NES), Super Nintendo (SNES), and the Nintendo 64.

In terms of pricing, the Nintendo Wii is less expensive than it's two main competitors, the Xbox 360 and the PS3.
