Recently I read an article in “The New Yorker” about the Nintendo console system Wii and it says that being third does not exactly mean being a looser. Over the years Nintendo has strive to bring us the most innovative gaming consoles and although not all were big hits most did make an impact on the gaming community and sold very well.

Which makes me realized that the Xbox 360 (own) and PS3 are not really that innovative when you really think about it. Let’s see the 360 has Xbox Live and Next-Gen graphics but does it really give us anything new other than online games which PC gamers have been doing for years and the same thing can be said about the PS3 with BlueRay(right). So it brings me to a conclusion that I should get a Wii since it’s made for gamers by a game company not an entertainment company like Sony or an Operating System/Software like Microsoft. I played it at a local GameStop and it was pretty cool. Again I’m not knocking those two other systems, but how much innovation do we get when we fork out $400.00 - $600.00 for either system, umm…great graphics and HD.
