There are polarized feelings about the Wii more than the other two new consoles. With a completely new control and method of playing its games, it was a risk. Loyal and new fans might have been put off by the motion sensing control. Nintendo had also been the most secretive about this console until its release. Thus, it did not receive as much publicity as the other two consoles. It does not sport mind-boggling graphics and is weakest in terms of power. It is also the smallest and most travel-friendly. However, they also have the most innovative controller and gameplay. The other two consoles also come with Wi-Fi but only the Wii offers all its old games for download. The Wii is also the console with the lowest retail price.
