Nintendo Wii to arrive in last quarter of 2006

Sony has announced that the Sony Playstation 3 would be arriving in November this year. Now Nintendo has confirmed that their Nintendo Wii would also be coming out around the same time.

The company is taking a different approach to promote their upcoming next generation gaming console. Rather than depending upon the latest hardware and cutting edge graphics, they are focusing more on game play and gaming experience.

Nintendo is hoping to do well in the market with an affordably priced console and groundbreaking games. It is already clear that the Nintendo Wii would be the cheapest of the three consoles out to impress the gamers later this year.

They have not revealed the pricing but ensured the gamers that they would be able to enjoy the games later this year on a console, which would not burn a hole in their pockets. With Playstation 3 costing around USD 500, this would bring some good news for the casual gamers looking for some fun.

Nintendo President Satoru Iwata claimed in a statement made to the media: “Regardless of age, gender, or game experience, anyone can understand Wii.”
