Gaming Consoles News & HeadlinesChina Copycat Wii to Produce “Vii”
Seeing how successful Nintendo has been with Nitendo Wii, the good old folks from China decided that they should be making one for themselves too. It isn’t something new to copycat a good selling product. By the look from the pics, not only did their new machine pronounced the same (can you differentiate someone saying “Wii” and “Vii”), but the concept of WiiMote was replicated and marketing campaign looks pretty to Nintendo’s.
For christ sake, can this really sell?!
