Nintendo Wii History

The Nintendo Wii history actually started as early as 2000. It was not released to the public until 2004. Nintendo wanted to revolutionize the home gaming experience. Many consumers were excited about the new idea but some wondered if it would materilalize. Those doubts were soon laid to rest when Nintendo revealed their concept for the wireless controller at a show in Japan in 2005. In late 2006 the Nintendo Wii was in high demand, in fact stores could not get enough of them to fill demand for the holidays. Many people were paying very inflated prices on eBay and other auction sites. There were also plenty of charity fund raisers selling lots of tickets because a Nintendo Wii was the prize.
