As such, there’s no doubt the Wii console will make a perfect gift for this Christmas holiday season. Here are the top 10 reasons why it will make a great Christmas gift.

1. Value – The Wii console provides good value for the next generation of console game systems. With up-to-date graphics and revolutionary controllers, the game system sells significantly under its competition. Play Station 3 and the Xbox 360 run at least $350. The Wii starts at a palatable $250.

2. Unique Experience – Because of the unconventional controllers, the Wii has shown the world that the console gaming experience can be much more interactive. With motion sensors, players can experience virtual motions by swinging the controller and experiencing vibrations that mimics an object hitting a stick. Gone are the days of rapid thumb movements. The Wii allows a virtual gaming experience without much of a learning curve.

3. Potential – The Wii has become so popular these days that game makers are lining up to develop an endless line of titles. Games such as Guitar Hero III, Mario Galaxy, and Twilight Princess allow users to pick from an limitless supply of games.

4. Lose Weight! – Yes, you can lose weight with the Wii console system. With the Wii controllers, you can thrust the stick like a sword, or swing it like a tennis racquet. The Wii controller allows arm movement so that one can burn calories. It may not be exactly like a nautilus machine, but some say it’s an exercise equipment. Interestingly, Nintendo has caught on the fitness interest and produced the Wii Fit, an exercise accessory for the Wii owner.

5. Downloads – The Wii isn’t just a mere console. In fact, the Wii game system allows players to download old classics from Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, and Nintendo 64. Anyone who has a retro urge can download their favorite classics at the convenience of his or her home. But the downloads do not stop there. There are now services where a Wii owner can now download movies and favorite television shows. Think of the Wii as the next dvr for the TV.

6. Online playability – The Wii console has a service that allows players to create an avatar and use that avatar to play games like Wii Sports. The Mii allows people from all over the planet to design a persona to interact live with users in the online space. Just imagine making new friends and playing them anytime throughout the world.

7. Slim Box – The Wii console has a sleek and architectural design that doesn’t take up much space. With the dimensions of 44 mm ( 1.73″) w, 157 mm ( 6.18″) tall and 215.4 mm (8.48″) deep, the Wii is the smallest console ever since the inception of Nintendo.
