The battle of next generation consoles has officially begun, although Nintendo won’t be getting any direct competition from Sony and Microsoft for at least a year. Nintendo executives were on hand to personally sell the first Wii U consoles to gamers who had camped out for days outside the Nintendo World store in New York City to get the new device at midnight on November 18.
Consumers lined up outside Nintendo World in New York to be among the first in the world to buy Nintendo’s newest home console, Wii U, which went on sale at midnight on Nov. 18, 2012. Wii U comes packaged with the Wii U GamePad, a controller with a 6.2-inch touch screen that redefines how people interact with their games, their TVs and one another.
