Many of you would have seen images of the Vii games console on websites taken from magazines, but here we have a better photo of this cheap and nasty Nintendo Wii rip off. Not much is known about the Vii, but you can see clearly from the image from Engadget that it is indeed a knockoff to the superb Wii.
The company who are making the Vii has also ripped off the Wiimote controller as well. We do not know how much the Vii will cost, but what we do know is that the games are not going to be anywhere near as good as those that come on the Nintendo Wii.

Dear author,
I like how you say “cheap and nasty” even tho you failed to mention why. Did you physically touch it? Played the games? So quick to jump to conclusions yea?
Don’t forget that some of the best companies today started out imitating companies who were market leaders then. Oh we can go through the same old list like Sony, Samsung, and even Baidu (Google).
I’d give these guys a run for the money against the Wii. Remember, they already have 1 billion people as a local market. All they need is a small percentage to make their product a good competition against not only Wii..but xBox and PS3.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It can also bite you back in the ass. Let the true Global Console Wars BEGIN!! I can’t wait who can come up with kick-ass VR consoles/games! Will it be the Americans? Japanese? or the Chinese?

The chinese always do the same thing, cars, toys, cell phones, mp3 player, and now is the turn for Wii, the only thing we can do is…. laugh, there is nothing else to do, they won’t change, Imitation is in their blood..-_-!

its not really competition when infringing on copyrites, trademarks, and passing off illegal ‘roms’ as your games.
