December 4, 2008 - On November 19, 2006, Nintendo of America launched its newest videogame console, Wii. The system was a huge risk for the company; after having been defeated in the previous generation of videogames by the likes of Microsoft and its Xbox, and Sony with its PlayStation 2, Nintendo hit the reset button on its GameCube system and started fresh in a brand new gaming generation.
Two years later, that risk has worked out far better than anyone could ever expect. Nintendo is once again back at the top of its game, selling several hundred thousand systems each and every month, exceeding the demand for the system pretty much every week of the year. It has thrust far ahead of both Microsoft's and Sony's current generation of consoles even with its inferior hardware capabilities, showing the industry that maybe the market isn't as concerned with the sharpest HD visuals or the most robust online experience as the hardcore might lead you to believe.
Over the past 24 months, Nintendo has slowly evolved the Wii to keep up with the market and its expectations through a variety of alterations, and we'd like to take the time to look back and remember what Wii gaming was like at the start of the gaming juggernaut. How has the experience changed between November 2006 and November 2008?
