Due to a marketing research, the Japanese videogame console is still the number 1 in the consumers preferences. Nintendo sold in US four times more than Sony Playstation 3 and two times more than Microsoft’s Xbox 360.

Nintendo Wii has two main advantages that I would like to name. The first one is the price. The console retails at $250 in comparison with PS3 which costs no less than $500. Xbox can be found at $300. The other advantage is the motion-sensing controller. I tested the Wii and I was very impressed with it. In 10 minutes of playing I sensed the same effect as I would workout in a gym class for half an hour. That is really great, because you can make movement and enjoy a nice sport game at the same time.

Nintendo shipped 360,000 units, while Sony shipped 82,000 units and Microsoft 174,000 Xbox 360s. The numbers don’t lie. The gamers prefer the Wii game console. Sony didn’t manage to achieve their forecasts regarding the sales. They are expecting to boost the sales once they will release new videogames this year. We will see, but till then, I will get myself a Nintendo Wii. - MIHNEA BOIANGIU
