Hey guys. I'm sorry to be intrusive but I'm hoping some of you can help me with a project for school. I'm really not trying to spam, and this is seriously my only post. I just would really like some feedback because I do not play videogames, and never actually used a wii myself. I think since you guys know the system, the company and the industry so well you are a valuable resource.

I'm writing a marketing paper on the Nintendo Wii. I have to cover the marketing basics mainly but I also have to list recommendations on how Nintendo can maximize their profits.

Basic things I came up with (I'm not sure if they are in the works but if they are please say so):

Focus on offering wii systems in various colors much like apple with Ipods.

I read there are "wii points" maybe partnering with a company like Coca-Cola so users can redeem wii points with codes.

Working with more schools to marketing the wii fit. Challenging children to get fit while having fun, and donating a few wiis would also build good will with the public overall.

But do you guys have suggestions? What would you change about the wii? Is there a way to gain more of a market of the avid gamers? Or will gamers ultimately prefer the flashier graphics of other systems, or the computer games like WoW?

Thank you so much for any insight you can offer!
