The Nintendo Wii video game console was created to focus on motion-based gameplay, representing a revolution in the industry. It was developed under Shigeru Miyamoto and first released in Japan in 2006. Within a week of its US release that November, over 600,000 units had been sold. The Wii remote allows players to control games using physical movement. Its active games and accessories like Wii Fit have helped promote physical activity for both young and elderly. Over 24 million units had been sold worldwide by 2008, generating large profits for Nintendo. However, some injuries have also resulted from enthusiastic gameplay.
