    Wii

    Platform »

    The Nintendo Wii is a home video game console released on November 19, 2006. The Wii's main selling point was the innovative use of motion controls that its signature Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers allowed for. It became the best selling home console of its respective generation of hardware.

    Everybody is getting the Nintendo Revolution, except Americans.

    The name the Wii had before the E3 2006. At the time, the Wii was colored black in every photo.

    That's a bit too harsh. There are some truly great games on the wii, but they are pretty few and far apart. Or well, if you like party games I guess you're in heaven.

    Personally, I don't see why need a new color released here. It's not that important. And besides, if you really want one, you could just do it yourself. I'm sure there are plenty of console skins like that for sale somewhere.

    Way to leave out Canadians, you heartless jerk.
     
    For some crazy reason I don't think color is going to be a major factor in convincing people who don't own a Wii to buy one. "You know, I would love to get a Wii but it just doesn't match the motif of my living room. If I could get it in black or maybe chrome, I would certainly purchase one."
     
    Sure choice is always good, but I certainly won't lose any sleep over the fact black Wii's aren't available in North America. Although with that said, seeing as I don't own a Wii myself and am still considering buying one, were I given the choice, I'd buy the black one. :P

    I agree, and just wait a little, it won't take long before the USA gets it.  They should have made this a Christmas item for the USA being such a large single market (sorry Canada).

    Now now, how do you get a post count like that with this kind of attitude!? Well in any case, I do admit I am at times quite jealous of Playstation 3 exclusives: Devil May Cry 4, Grand Theft Auto 4, Tekken 6, and of course, Final Fantasy XIII. Truly, the list is endless! 
     
    On topic, I would totally get a black Wii if I did not already have one. What a great color for the system!

    I always thought that about the 360.  You do a 360 and return to where you started.  Give it more power and HD graphics and otherwise, the same thing.   
     
    Plus, if you can't get the "revolution" meaning, well, you never will.

    I didn't say they did, I didn't even mention them. Although those versions did something more than just adding a new colour. My point still stands for all of those consoles.

    But you didn't not say it either, but I get your clarification (and my misunderstanding).  The others changed some hardware but it didn't change gaming.

    Possibly and if so, I would be wrong and it was better for better quality graphics.
