摘要
Nintendo is one of Japan's most famous companies. Founded over a hundred years ago, the company has helped create some of our most treasured childhood gaming memories. I remember playing Super Mario 64, trying to collect those 120 stars. Getting up early in the morning to play Diddy Kong Racing. Rushing home to play Goldeneye 007.
Good memories. But I am not going to talk about the Nintendo 64 today. Instead I am going to talk about a later Nintendo product: the weirdly named Wii.
Introduced in 2006, the Nintendo Wii began as a bold move. Zigging where everyone else was zagging. And at first it worked brilliantly. By 2013, it had sold over 100 million units. But the market changed and the innovative strategy ran out of gas. Unlike the N64 or the PS2, the console is largely forgotten - collecting dust in living rooms everywhere.
