The wii iissue
I just want to blog on a funny issue that some of you have probably heard...about nintendo
As you all know, nintendo started to sale few weeks ago a new video game system called the "wii". Till the recent wii, nintendo had been kind of absent of the market of video games hardware (except mobile devices). This new system include a totally new and amazing control pad that allow you to control the game by moving like you would do it in real (like when you play tennis for example).
According to some games full of action (like sports game) and some times the need to launch the control pad, nintendo built a system of cable and lace (linked to the player) to keep the control pad safe of any contact with the ground that could break it.
Funny point is that this week they discovered that people are that much involved and interact with the video game that sometimes maybe they forget that it is a control pad and use it like a real sport device, smatching with big strengh and sometimes when the control get out of their hands the cable break and the control pad fly away...
and so breaking the control pad.
Maybe we could think that it is an easy way for nintendo to sale move control pad or that it was in fact an engineering mistake. However the customers didn't change their minds and are still rushing day by day in stores when they receive new "wii" for sale.
