Wii News to replace your news
The successful game console that has everyone jumping up from the couch and waving their magic Wii wands now has the ability to replace your local news channel. And you don’t even have to wait until 11.
Instead of getting your local news from your favorite news channel, Wii could give you the skinny of news from all around the world. Got friends in Asia? You could hover over Asia on the 3D Globe and see an assortment of news from the region. Among other features, the news even gets updated on-the-fly. So you can check back and find new developments.
While your local news are still closer to home, the fact that a mere video game console can provide up-to-date, on-demand news gives a new meaning to interactive media. Powered by Associated Press (or Goo for the Japanese), the Wii news channel consolidates news collected from associated sources all over the world (with pretty cryptic acronyms by the way – there’s never enough combinations of letters to make you dizzy). It may be only a matter of time before the news covers your neighborhood.
So now all news buffs get to view what news they want, when they want, by a wave of a hand and a click of a button. The value of the Wii probably went up two-fold now.
