Nintendo Wii, the Future of Video Gaming

I’m not much of a video gamer, the latest console I have is a PS2 which is collecting dust at the moment. Over the weekend I was at a friend’s house and I had the chance to try out the Wii, the new console by Nintendo.Â
Like others I was skeptical of this new system that Nintendo released. The thought of moving your body parts to control the game did not fit the traditional video gamer image.  However, I was still intrigue in trying it out. I played games like Tennis and Bowling. It was awkward at first, but I soon felt comfortable, sometimes too comfortable where I actually felt that I was in a bowling lane trying to go for my third strike.  Â
I love the interaction you have with this system. How it engages you to move your body, feel the tension, and increase your heart rate. Ugh. It reminds me of sex. Just kidding, seriously though, I enjoyed the Wii so much that I had to get one myself. Unfortunately, the city seems to be sold out of them.  Â
Nintendo is one of the three largest manufactures of gaming consoles and according to analyst Nintendo’s Wii outsold Sony’s PS3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360 in January. Â
With the Wii having superior interactive ability compared to its competitors and a much lower price, it is turning heads around the world; amongst those are the fat or lazy people. Some say it beats going to the gym, while others have claimed that they lost weight using Wii. Whatever the reasons are, I think Nintendo got this one right. They have given us a glimpse into the future of video games. I believe that it won’t be long before Microsoft and Sonny will follow its footsteps. Â

What ever helps the world get smaller I’m all for it. No more fat, greasy, pimple face teenagers. Yeah, you have a reason to stay in the house but now you have to stand up and play. Nintendo has done it this time.
