China-made Nintendo clone “Vii”

While a lot of big companies have been relying on various Asian countries as outsourcing producers for their products, China seems to have raised this trend a step further and made their own version of Nintendo’s best selling Wii console.

Subtly Dubbed the “Vii”, it sports practically all of the features its Nintendo counterpart has as well as a few more gimmick accessories thrown in as you can see in the image above. To be honest though, an inflatable jet ski accessory does sound kind of cool.

Anyway, from the look right down to the whole family appeal of the Wii console, the Vii pretty much mimics all of the Wii’s finer points. Aside from the fact that components are cheaper in the country, copyright issues aren’t that closely enforced thus making the “cloning” of the Wii such an easy endeavor.

While imitation can indeed be the highest form of flattery, we’ll just have to see what the big wigs at Nintendo think of this should they decide to turn their attention to this new console.
