What is a Nintendo Wii?

We all come across a particular new word repeatedly but never have enough time to know what it is.

Nintendo Wii is one such that I was eager to learn about but always procrastinated the required action. At last, today is the D day.

The Wii is pronounced as 'we'.

Nintendo Company, Limited is a Japanese multinational corporation originally founded on September 23, 1889 in Kyoto, Japan by Fusajiro Yamauchi to produce handmade hanafuda cards.

Nintendo is traded in Nasdaq.

A distinguishing feature of the console is its wireless controller, the Wii Remote, which can be used as a handheld pointing device and can detect motion and rotation in three dimensions.

The console itself looks like any other game console. But there is a rumor now that it is not available in leading outlets. I heard that one has to order well in advance by paying fully now.
