Wii

So I am thinking of getting a used nintendo wii (if its not a myth of course). what would be the price range for a used nintendo wii this day and age like in stores such as ebgames or gamestop or any other gaming store?

A: Good Luck! It's hard to find them new never mind used. Call up gaming stores around you and ask them or put an add in the paper, you never know.

Will The Wii U Be Less Powerful Than The Xbox 360 and PS3?

The announcement that Nintendo’s Wii U will finally bring the company into the realms of 1080p HD gaming has kicked up a lot of excitement among their loyal fan base, and it is also expected to give Nintendo’s a competitive edge with high profile cross-platform games that was previously lacking on the Wii . However, anonymous sources reportedly familiar with the Wii U technology have stated in an interview with GamesIndustry International that it will actually be less powerful than the current generation Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 . While Nintendo has not commented on how the Wii U will compare to other consoles, these supposed drawbacks do raise some interesting questions about how well the Wii U will fare against current and future competition.

While initially surprising, the Wii U’s potential lack of horsepower makes sense when you consider Nintendo’s tendency to push innovation rather than technical performance and graphical output. Similar to the Wii’s focus on motion control, the key selling point for the Wii U will be the unique tablet controller that was debuted at E3 2011 and has since been the hot topic of discussion and criticism among gamers and the media. The unique controller points to Nintendo’s continued focus on unique gameplay rather than competing with other consoles on a technical level. The Wii brought motion control into our living rooms and was the top selling console since it’s debut, however it lacked the HD gameplay and processing power of it’s competition. This proves that being less powerful does not necessarily mean less profitable, however it remains to be seen if this will hold true in the next console generation.
