  The Nintendo Wii is Nintendo's newest video game console. The Wii was the 7th console Nintendo created, right after the Gamecube. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 both have graphic-rendering or High Definition capabilities which the Wii lacks, but the Wii uses motion-sensing controllers called Wiimotes to explore new possible ways of gaming. An example would be using the Wiimote as a steering wheel while playing Mario Kart Wii. The Wii can also play Gamecube games, and has 4 spots to plug in Gamecube controllers. The Wii is the most popular console in term of worldwide sales.

  On January 15, 2009, YouTube announced that their video service will be streamable through the Nintendo Wii gaming console. TechCrunch
