Building off the basis of the [[Nintendo DS]], Nintendo is using what they refer to as the "blue ocean" strategy. This involves marketing the system not only to the general public, but also those who have never or rarely played games. It has been designed with simplicity and familiarity in mind, which explains the Wii Remote and the [[Wii Channel]]s.

The system is actually incredibly compact, lending itself to extreme portability. It is approximately the size of three DVD (or Wii) cases stacked on top of one another. It comes with a stand as well, so it can sit upright when in the vertical position. To insert a game, there is a large slot on the front of the system surrounded by a glowing blue neon light. The slot can accept the 8cm discs used by the Nintendo GameCube, or Wii games on standard 12cm discs. The system will also come with a [[Wii Sensor Bar]] that is used to detect the motions of the Wii Remote.

The specs have been said to be comparable to an AthlonXP 2400+ or an AthlonXP 3000+ with a possible clock speed between 2.0 Ghz to 2.2 Ghz. The GPU is comparable to an ATi Radeon X1400 and X1600 and the RAM Speed is said to be at 640Mhz.
