Note: This video is probably not work safe (unless you own the damn joint). 

This is a a great 3 minutes illustration on why the Wii is succeeding in the market beyond all expectations. Ask yourself if this movie would make any sense whatsoever if the couple were having sexy fun with a Playstation 3 controller or (good god, no), an XBOX 360 gamepad. Of course it’s not the first time someone comes up with way to have some fun with a console. We all remember Jane Pincarkd’s idea of fun with a PS2 controller; of course back then PS2 was sleek, stylish, and culturally engaging. I never thought I’d see the day when Nintendo held that throne, but now they do.

Nintendo succeeds because they are focued on solving the core user need, helping average people have a lot of fun rather than becoming hopelessly mired in a feature / functionality battle with historic competitors. 

Suzan Wu: The Nintendo Wii - Hail to the king, baby!

So shortly after getting the trial version of opera on the Wii I went to a free adult site http://www.tiava.com to look at some photos. Yesterday I went back and… well apparently either the site maintainers are Wii enthusiasts or I’m not the only one. The site has added a “Wii friendly” interface for browsing their content. I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised the adult industry seems to always know where technology is going, but I’m surprised to see it so quick. The browser hasn’t been available but for a week now

Arstech Reader: The world of adult sites is becoming Nintendo-friendly

It’s not so surprising, the adult industry are usually the first to adopt any new technology. I wouldn’t be surprised if a new form of adult gaming is designed around Wii. Of course there are other ways to stream the x rated (and the decent) content to your Wii.  Enter Media Center X

Wii Media Center X is a free multimedia server developed by Red Kawa. It allows you to stream certain types of pictures, music, videos and files from your computer (where the server running) to your Nintendo Wii. It runs on most major operating systems including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

More and more reasons to go ahead and buy a Wii. The full version of the video above can be downloaded from here (note: Rachel Gold the star of this video has an IMDB listing, this could very well be some form professional viral marketing).
