Because of Nintendo's reduced focus on computational power, the Wii and <a href="/wiki/List_of_Wii_games" title="List of Wii games">its games</a> were less expensive to produce than its competitors. The Wii was extremely popular at launch, causing the system to be in short supply in some markets. A bundled game, <a href="/wiki/Wii_Sports" title="Wii Sports">Wii Sports</a>, was considered the <a href="/wiki/Killer_application" title="Killer application">killer app</a> for the console; other flagship games included entries in the <a href="/wiki/Super_Mario" title="Super Mario">Super Mario</a>, <a href="/wiki/Legend_of_Zelda" class="mw-redirect" title="Legend of Zelda">Legend of Zelda</a>, <a href="/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_(video_game_series)" title="Pokémon (video game series)">Pokémon</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Metroid" title="Metroid">Metroid</a> series. Within a year of launch, the Wii became the best-selling seventh-generation console as well as a social phenomenon in many countries. Total lifetime sales of the Wii had reached over 101 million units, making it Nintendo's best-selling home console until it was surpassed by the <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_Switch" title="Nintendo Switch">Nintendo Switch</a> in 2021.<a href="#cite_note-Switch-29">[h]</a> As of 2022, the Wii is the <a href="/wiki/List_of_best-selling_game_consoles" title="List of best-selling game consoles">fifth-best-selling home console of all time</a>. The Wii repositioned Nintendo as a key player in the video game console marketplace. The introduction of motion-controlled games via the Wii Remote led both Microsoft and Sony to develop their own competing products—the <a href="/wiki/Kinect" title="Kinect">Kinect</a> and <a href="/wiki/PlayStation_Move" title="PlayStation Move">PlayStation Move</a>, respectively.

The Wii U was released in 2012, and Nintendo continued to sell both units through the following year.

This model is sometimes referred to as the "Wii Family Edition", the name given to the bundle in which it was first sold in Europe. Additionally, it does not include a stand, as it is intended to be positioned horizontally.

The project, named the "Console Feature Realization Project", was to figure out what the Wii interface could show running in a low-power mode on an around-the-clock schedule that would be of interest for people to look at if they were not playing games.<a href="#cite_note-wired_wii_menu-147">[137]</a> The idea of having continually updated weather and news reports made logical sense from testing, and this led to the idea of presenting these similar to a row of televisions each set to a different <a href="/wiki/Television_channel" title="Television channel">television channel</a> as if in an electronics shop, creating the "channels" concept. A user can navigate to any channel window to bring that to the forefront, whether to launch the game or application or to get more information that was being displayed.<a href="#cite_note-wired_wii_menu-147">[137]</a> For example, the Forecast Channel would display a brief summary of the local area's temperature and short-term weather forecast, while clicking on the channel brought up an interactive globe that the user could manipulate with the Wii Remote to explore real-time weather conditions across the Earth.<a href="#cite_note-148">[138]</a> The Wii launched with six channels: the Disc Channel which was used to launch Wii and <a href="/wiki/GameCube" title="GameCube">GameCube</a> titles from an optical disc; the <a href="/wiki/Mii_Channel" class="mw-redirect" title="Mii Channel">Mii Channel</a> to create Mii avatars; the Photo Channel which could be used to view and edit photos stored on an SD card; the <a href="/wiki/Wii_Shop_Channel" title="Wii Shop Channel">Wii Shop Channel</a> to purchase new games and applications; the Forecast Channel and the News Channel.<a href="#cite_note-pcworld_closer_look-100">[91]</a> In addition to default channels that came with the Wii, new channels could be added through system updates, downloaded applications from the Wii Shop Channel, or added by games themselves.<a href="#cite_note-wired_wii_menu-147">[137]</a> Shortly after launch, other free channels created by Nintendo were made available to users, including the <a href="/wiki/Internet_Channel" class="mw-redirect" title="Internet Channel">Internet Channel</a>, a modified version of the <a href="/wiki/Opera_(web_browser)" title="Opera (web browser)">Opera web browser</a> for the Wii which supports <a href="/wiki/USB_keyboard" class="mw-redirect" title="USB keyboard">USB keyboard</a> input and <a href="/wiki/Adobe_Flash_Player" title="Adobe Flash Player">Adobe Flash Player</a>.<a href="#cite_note-pcworld_closer_look-100">[91]</a><a href="#cite_note-149">[139]</a><a href="#cite_note-150">[140]</a><a href="#cite_note-151">[141]</a> The Wii Menu channels feature music composed by video game composer <a href="/wiki/Kazumi_Totaka" title="Kazumi Totaka">Kazumi Totaka</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Skrebels_2021-152">[142]</a><a href="#cite_note-Brodeur_2020-153">[143]</a><a href="#cite_note-Robinson_2019-154">[144]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Mii">Mii</h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Mii" title="Mii">Mii</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Default_Miis.jpeg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/07/Default_Miis.jpeg/220px-Default_Miis.jpeg" decoding="async" width="220" height="219" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/07/Default_Miis.jpeg 1.5x" data-file-width="225" data-file-height="224" /></a><figcaption>Default Miis</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Mii_channel.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5b/Mii_channel.jpg/220px-Mii_channel.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="162" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5b/Mii_channel.jpg/330px-Mii_channel.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5b/Mii_channel.jpg 2x" data-file-width="369" data-file-height="271" /></a><figcaption>The <a href="/wiki/Mii_Channel" class="mw-redirect" title="Mii Channel">Mii Channel</a>, the first application used to create and view Mii characters on the Wii</figcaption></figure> The Wii introduced the use of player-customized avatars called Miis, which have been continued to be used by Nintendo in the Wii U, the Nintendo 3DS family, and, to a lesser extent, the <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_Switch" title="Nintendo Switch">Nintendo Switch</a>.

The case was overturned in 2020, with the appellate court ruling that iLife's patents were too broad to cover the specific motion detection technologies developed by Nintendo.<a href="#cite_note-256">[245]</a> There were lawsuits against Nintendo claiming physical damage done by ineffective wrist straps on the Wii Remote when they slipped out of players' hands and broke television screens or windows.<a href="#cite_note-bbc_remote_breakages-107">[97]</a> The first <a href="/wiki/Class_action" title="Class action">class action</a> suit filed in December 2006 led Nintendo to issue a product recall for the existing wrist straps and send out new versions that had an improved securing mechanism for the wrist.<a href="#cite_note-257">[246]</a> A second class action lawsuit was filed by a mother in <a href="/wiki/Colorado" title="Colorado">Colorado</a> in December 2008, claiming the updated wrist straps were still ineffective.<a href="#cite_note-258">[247]</a> This suit was dismissed by September 2010, finding for Nintendo that the wrist straps were not knowingly faulty under Colorado consumer protection laws.<a href="#cite_note-259">[248]</a> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Legacy">Legacy</h2></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Impact_on_Nintendo">Impact on Nintendo</h3></div> The Wii has been recognized as Nintendo's <a href="/wiki/Blue_Ocean_Strategy" title="Blue Ocean Strategy">"blue ocean" strategy</a> to differentiate itself from its competitors Sony and Microsoft for the next several years.<a href="#cite_note-260">[249]</a> The Wii has since become seen as a prime example of an effective blue ocean approach. While Sony and Microsoft continued to innovate their consoles on hardware improvements to provide more computational and graphics power, Nintendo put more effort towards developing hardware that facilitated new ways to play games. This was considered a key part to the success of the console, measured by sales over its competitors during that console generation.<a href="#cite_note-261">[250]</a><a href="#cite_note-jbs_wii_blue-262">[251]</a> However, Nintendo did not maintain this same "blue ocean" approach when it took towards designing the Wii U, by which point both Sony and Microsoft had caught up with similar features from the Wii. These factors partially contributed towards weak sales of the Wii U.<a href="#cite_note-jbs_wii_blue-262">[251]</a> Part of the Wii's success was attributed to its lower cost compared to the other consoles. While Microsoft and Sony have experienced losses producing their consoles in the hopes of making a long-term profit on software sales, Nintendo reportedly had optimized production costs to obtain a significant profit margin with each Wii unit sold.<a href="#cite_note-263">[252]</a> Soichiro Fukuda, a games analyst at <a href="/wiki/Nikko_Citigroup" class="mw-redirect" title="Nikko Citigroup">Nikko Citigroup</a>, estimated that in 2007, Nintendo's optimized production gave them a profit from each unit sold ranging from $13 in Japan to $49 in the United States and $74 in Europe.<a href="#cite_note-264">[253]</a><a href="#cite_note-265">[254]</a> The console's final price at launch of $249.99 made it comparatively cheaper than the Xbox 360 (which had been available in two models priced at $299 and $399) and the then-upcoming PlayStation 3 (also to be available in two models priced at $499 and $599). Further, Nintendo's first-party games for the Wii were set at an <a href="/wiki/MSRP" class="mw-redirect" title="MSRP">retail price</a> of $50, about $10 less expensive than average games for Nintendo's competitors.<a href="#cite_note-cnn_launch_date-57">[49]</a> Iwata stated they were able to keep the game price lower since the Wii was not as focused on high-resolution graphics in comparison to the other consoles, thus keeping development costs lower, averaging about $5 million per game compared to $20 million required for developing on the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3.<a href="#cite_note-266">[255]</a><a href="#cite_note-fortune_2007-85">[76]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Health_effects">Health effects</h3></div> The Wii was marketed to promote a healthy lifestyle via physical activity.

Although the use of VGs in PR is a relatively new trend, this review highlights that it has already been tested for various health conditions.
