Wii - litigious nightmare for Nintendo?

December 22nd, 2006

Could their new gaming console, the absurdly named Wii, be the end of Nintendo as they descend into bankruptcy in a hail of class action law suits?

One of the consoles main differences from the X-Box and PS3, is that they have a unique controller that you actually use as if it were the implement in the game. For example if you are in a sword fighting game you swing the controller around like a sword.

wiihaveaproblem.com is a blog dedicated to people who have incurred personal injuries or have inflicted pain on others as a result of their Wii’ng.

Here is a sampler of the sort of content you will find.

This is either a media relations nightmare for Nintendo or an expertly crafted buzz marketing campaign. You decide and we’ll check the sales/market share figures in a few months.
