This year it looks like the gift everybody is looking for is the same as last year: the Nintendo Wii. The small video game console sells out almost immediately when it reaches stores, even after Nintendo Co. has ramped up production several times, a year after its launch. The Wii responds to the user moving the wand-like wireless controller, while other consoles are controlled by a confusing array of buttons and joysticks. It also comes with an array of casual, nonviolent games that appeal to adults. That’s why. With the Wii, Nintendo set out make a console that would entice people who were not hardcore gamers, and it has succeeded.
