Wii

Nintendo Wii · 2006–2013

The best-selling Nintendo home console of its era and a defining cultural object — over 100 million sold on the strength of motion control and a library that reached far past the usual gaming audience. That ubiquity is exactly what shapes its collecting market: the platform that was everywhere is now collected for the things that were not common — late low-print releases, limited and collector's editions, and clean, complete or sealed copies of a library that was mostly played hard and discarded. The Wii is an emerging-collectibility platform where condition and edition, not raw rarity, separate the ordinary from the desirable, and where the best titles are only now being recognised as collectibles.
