At first, I was skeptical about the announcement of Nintendo’s Wii (pronounced “we”) game console and its unconventional controller. However, after seeing the system at E3 Expo in 2006, I knew that the product had a place in games.

Rather than simply creating a “better graphics” product, Nintendo is offering consumers a game system unlike any other. And they’re including a free game with purchase — to train the new owner of the system on its mechanics. Check out real consumers trying the Wii for the first time.
