Nintendo Wii is Coming!

November 16, 2006

One of the big releases of the season is almost here.  The Nintendo Wii will hit stores and homes this Sunday.  Will it live up the hype?  Can it compete with the PS3?

Here’s what people are saying:

 Gamespot: “When the Wii arrives in stores on Sunday, it will do so without some of its promised functionality. Nintendo today announced that users looking to surf the Web, check the weather, or peruse the news on their Wii systems will need to wait a while.”

FoxNews: “When Nintendo’s Wii home video-gaming console debuts in North America early Sunday morning, it will put to rest any fears that it won’t be able to compete with Sony’s super-powered PlayStation 3 and Microsoft’s already established Xbox 360.”
