The New Wii and All News of Video Devices - The Wii console from Nintendo is already famous for having broke all records for sales, but Nintendo executives are not willing to stop here, but already have more successes in the pipeline.
The Wii has managed the
ambitious task of extending electronic games to an audience that had never
before been achieved by this category of products. But despite having already
broken so many records in sales, the heads of Nintendo do not intend to stop
here, but aim to conquer new goals.
Since September the price
of the Wii has dropped to $199, but its successor is already in the pipeline,
the Wii HD. The successor of Nintendo Wii would have to use the High Definition
technology, but may not be ready before 2011, according to rumors. This does
not surprise those who for years followed the events of the Japanese company,
who always prefers to wait until the prices of new technology lower, until it
became affordable for almost every budget, before implementing it. This behavior
is therefore consistent with the policies followed so far, already with the
first model Wii. The first Wii had a price quite affordable compared to other
consoles, and one of the distinguishing features was the offer of games
targeted at a varied audience. This policy allows you to create playful
technology to everyone, and thus broaden the catchment area and the
corresponding market share. In this way the new console would use different CD
and DVD, with sharper graphics, but still at reasonable prices.
The Wii HD includes a lot
of multimedia features of the Sony and Microsoft consoles (video playback over
all) and would be based on the interaction via motion sensor, with a controller
that will probably integrate the functions of the normal Wii Remote and of the
accessory Motion Plus , with gyroscope and released later to make it even more
precise and versatile the scanning of bodily movements.
Among the news of the
coming season, even Sony and Microsoft are to embrace the philosophy of games
that simply and intuitively are controlled with the body movements: the home of
the PlayStation with an accessory like the Wii Remote, but with a technology
that the first demonstrations seems more well-performing, the Xbox with its
Project Natal: a high-tech cameras that should be able to scan the body in
order to leave players interact with the console in ways never before seen.
Also in the field of
digital media we are expecting big news, especially on video and TV media
devices directly connected to the internet. Some think that the limited success
of Blu-ray is due to the fact that many people are waiting to see what happens,
to avoid spending a lot of money for technology that could be overcome in a
couple of years. According to many observers it is better to wait a bit and see
if the opportunity to view products via streaming or download them in a short
time could be feasible via TV.
More or less what happens
in the gaming world, where it is already possible to have the console connected
to a network and, potentially, pronounced dead the classic CD disc. So this is
certainly a period of transition and of several changes.
