when nintendo entered the video game market with the wii
Nintendo video game consoles The Wii was released on November 19, 2006 as Nintendo's seventh-generation home console. Nintendo designed the console to appeal towards a wider audience than those of its main competitors, the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, including "casual" players and audiences that were new to video games.[8][9]
List of Super Nintendo Entertainment System games Of the console's 783 official releases, 249 were exclusive to North America and 62 to Europe. The Super NES was released in North America on August 23, 1991 with its launch titles being Super Mario World, F-Zero, Pilotwings, SimCity, and Gradius III.[3] The last game to be officially published for the system was Frogger in 1998. The best-selling game is Super Mario World with over 20.6 million units sold.[4][5] Despite the console's relatively late start, and the fierce competition it faced in North America and Europe from Sega's Genesis/Mega Drive console, it was the best-selling console of its era.[6]
