NINTENDO WII

The Wii is Nintendo's smallest home console to date; it measures 44 mm (1.73 in) wide, 157 mm (6.18 in) tall and 215.4 mm (8.48 in) deep in its vertical orientation, the near-equivalent of three DVD cases stacked together. The included stand measures 55.4 mm (2.18 in) wide, 44 mm (1.73 in) tall and 225.6 mm (8.88 in) deep. The system weighs 1.2 kg (2.7 lb),[70] which makes it the lightest of the three major seventh generation consoles. The console can be placed either horizontally or vertically. The prefix for the numbering scheme of the system and its parts and accessories is "RVL-" after its project code name of "Revolution".[71] The console also features a recurring theme or design: the console itself, SD cards, the power supply and all the sockets have one of their corners chipped off in a triangular fashion. The front of the console features an illuminated slot-loading optical media drive that accepts both 12 cm Wii Optical Discs and Nintendo GameCube Game Discs. The blue light in the disc slot illuminates briefly when the console is turned on and pulsates when new data is received through WiiConnect24. After firmware update 3.0, the disc slot light activates whenever a Wii disc is inserted or ejected. When there is no WiiConnect24 information, the light stays off. The disc slot light remains off during gameplay or when using other features. Two USB ports are located at its rear. An SD card slot hides behind the cover on the front of the console. The SD card can be used for uploading photos as well as backing up saved game data and downloaded Virtual Console and WiiWare games. To use the SD slot for transferring game saves, an update must be installed. An installation can be initiated from the Wii options menu through an Internet connection, or by inserting a game disc containing the updated firmware. Virtual Console data cannot be restored to any system except the unit of origin.[72] An SD card can also be used to create customized in-game music from stored MP3 files, as first shown in Excite Truck, as well as music for the slideshow feature of the Photo Channel. Version 1.1 of the Photo Channel removed MP3 playback in favor of AAC support. Nintendo has shown the console and the Wii Remote in white, black, silver, lime green, and red,[73][74] but it is currently available only in white. Shigeru Miyamoto stated that other colors would become available after the easing of supply limitations. [75] The Wii launch package includes the console, a stand to allow the console to be placed vertically, a circular clear stabilizer for the main stand, one Wii Remote, one Nunchuk attachment, one Sensor Bar, a removable stand for the bar, one external main power adapter, two AA batteries, one composite AV cable with RCA connectors, a SCART adapter in European countries (component video and other types of cables are available separately), operation documentation, and, in all regions except Japan and South Korea, a copy of the game Wii Sports. The Wii can be hacked to enable an owner to use the console for activities other than those intended by Nintendo.[76] Several brands of modchips are available for the Wii. Nintendo plans to release a version of the console with DVD-Video playback capabilities. This new model will use the CinePlayer CE DVD Navigator software engine by Sonic Solutions.[77] After announcing the DVD version for 2007, Nintendo delayed its release to focus on producing the original console to meet demand.[78] Although software will be used to enable DVD-Video functionality, Nintendo has stated that it "requires more than a firmware upgrade" to implement and that the functionality would be unavailable as an upgrade option for the existing Wii model.[77] Despite Nintendo's assertion that a firmware update would be unable to provide DVD playback to existing Wii consoles, a homebrew DVD player was released for the original Wii.[79]
On July 11, 2007, Nintendo revealed the Wii Balance Board at E3 2007 along with Wii Fit.[80] It
is a wireless balance board accessory for the Wii that contains multiple pressure sensors used to measure the user's center of balance. Namco Bandai produced a mat controller, a simpler less sophisticated competitor to the balance board, that connects to the GameCube controller port. At the Nintendo Fall Press Conference in October 2008, Satoru Iwata announced that Wii owners would have the option to download WiiWare and Virtual Console content directly onto an SD card. The option would offer an alternative to "address the console's insufficient memory storage". The announcement stated that it would be available in Japan in the spring of 2009.[81] Nintendo made the update available on March 25, 2009. In addition to the previously announced functionalty, it lets the player load Virtual Console and WiiWare games directly from the SD card. The update allows the use of SDHC cards, increasing the limit on SD card size from 2 GB to 32 GB.[82]
In current-generation console race, Nintendo is the only publisher who said that the console is not the Wii console nextgen. This is indeed true, considering the actual Wii console is only commensurate with the strength of the gamecube.

But Wii has the benefits of innovation kontroller motion-sensor and use the DVD as the media game to its (previous gamecube using the Mini-DVD, so the capacity of small game).

Real evidence that the Nintendo Wii console nextgen not be on the resolution of the resulting picture. This console, as well as PS2 and gamecube, only able to display 480p resolution images only. In fact it has become standard in this 21st century (the first generation Xbox is only able to produce 720p resolution).
But can not be denied, the innovation that saves Nintendo. Although appearing and minimalist look ancient (for the current generation), is the Wii console terlaris in this generation. The console is already the record-breaking sales Xbox360 and PS3. Then the question, what if Wii nextgen appear?

Dolphin emulator (which is also developed on the Nintendo license) create Wii game with the nextgen appear 720p maximum resolution. Unfortunately, YouTube can not even display 720p (even in HD option)
