Nintendo’s Wii Launched

Nintendo launched its next generation gamming console, Wii at a grand launch event organized at New York and Los Angeles. Folks from Gizmodo where on the spot, according to them around 1000 people lined up outside to grab these Wiis.

Wii sells for 250$ inside United States, which makes it the cheapest among the new generation gaming console. Wiis are already selling on eBay for the double price. But unlike PS3, people aren’t rushing to buy Wii, so you won’t have to spend sleepless nights outside Best Buy.

Wii’s commercial are already broadcasting through out America, check them out. For all Wii fans out there, Engadget has produced a Wii Setup and Interface Walkthrough


PS3 is out of my budget, so I’ll consider a Wii once it arrives here in India. Are you planning for a Wii too ?
