Editing Wii (section)

== Reception ==
Despite getting strong criticism over its weaker hardware compared to competitors and focus on motion controls, the Wii was very well-received as it appealed to more than just hardcore gamers, and because of that, it actually outsold both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 with 101.63 million units sold, thus making it the best-selling Nintendo home console until the Switch surpassed it in 2022.

Many clone consoles were made to rip off the motion controls, most notably the Wireless60. Sony and Microsoft themselves even made the PlayStation Move and Xbox Kinect respectively to compete with the Wii.

Unlike its competitors, the PS3 and 360 which were being sold at a loss during its early days, the Wii was a huge success since day one.
