Identification and Background

The Nintendo Wii, released in North America in November 2006, is Nintendo's version of the seventh generation gaming console, a category that includes Sony's PlayStation 3 and Microsoft's XBox 360. It is the smallest of the seventh generation consoles, measuring a slim 44 mm wide, 157 mm tall, and 215.4 mm deep. Although it was planned to be released in several different colors, the only currently available option is white.

The Wii is compatible with all Nintendo Gamecube game discs, and has ports for four Gamecube controllers. The wireless Wii controllers communicate with the console through two Bluetooth antennae. Internally, it is quite simple compared to the other seventh generation consoles; the Wii uses flash memory instead of a hard drive and has a less powerful graphics card than competing devices.
