NINTENDO WII WINS 2007 CUSTOMERS’ CHOICE AWARD, DESPITE SHORTAGE IN LEAD UP TO CHRISTMAS

By  • 

The Nintendo Wii was judged the most popular of the big three consoles in 2007, despite extreme shortages of the console in the lead-up to Christmas, according to reviews from genuine purchasers collated by independent review publishers, Reevoo.

The Wii achieved an overall score of 8.78 out of ten, compared with 8.25 for the PlayStation 3 and 7.65 for the Xbox 360. Sony’s PlayStation scored highest on value for money, rating 7.96, versus 7.70 for the Wii and 7.15 for Microsoft’s Xbox 360.

Reviewers praised the Sony console for the integration of a Blu-Ray player, contributing to its leading value for money score.

The Wii was praised for its usability, child friendliness and exercise potential in verbatim comments from buyers collated by Reevoo.

The Xbox 360 scored well for graphics and design, but fared poorly in other areas. One reviewer described it as being “[as] heavy as my nan after she’s eaten an entire elephant.”
