You have probably spotted a commercial or an ad for the new Nintendo Wii video game console. So what exactly is the Nintendo Wii? The Nintendo Wii is a video gaming console. The console currently competes with two other next generation consoles including the Microsoft Xbox 360 and the Sony Playstation 3. Records show that the Nintendo Wii has sold more copies than Sony Playstation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 as of December 2008. The Nintendo Wii Remote is the main thing that sets the console apart from the other consoles. The remote is wireless and is used like a handheld point device. The system is capable of detecting movement in three dimensions. There are currently many games available for the console and there are many accessories available for the console as well including the Wii Console Plus.   What exactly is the Wii Motion Plus? The Wii Motion Plus is a Nintendo Wii accessory that connects to the bottom of the Wii Remote giving the console more accurate capabilities of capturing complex motion. The Wii Motion Plus has a sensor inside it which supplements the Sensor Bar and accelerometer capabilities of the controller therefore giving it the ability to render actions onto the screen in real time. There are a number of upcoming games for Wii Consoles that will be able to use this new technology. The Wii Motion Plus is expected to be released as a bundle pack with the Wii Sports Resort.   You will also be able to purchase this Wii Remote accessory separately. This accessory and the wide variety of video games available for the Nintendo Wii has caused more and more people to purchase Wii Consoles.
