No not for playing games. Well yes its great for that, but the Wii is an important internet testing tool. More and more people are using their games console to pit their wits against others online. Its an easy transition to start browsing websites more and more via these consoles and the browsing platform needs checking out to ensure all websites can be viewed properly on this technology.
Not only is the browser important, the usability of a site is too. It can be accessed via a mouse and a keyboard, but how does it fair with a Wii remote?
This should not be limited to just the Wii either. PS3 and Xbox consoles have the ability to connect online, and sites should also be tested in these formats.
Sony, Toshiba and Philips have also started releasing "multimedia centres" where the TV, the focal point of most living rooms, is also able to be used as a monitor for a PC, a tv for a games console and a facility to access your I Tunes.
Lets get ahead of the times. Or maybe just up with them until the next massive shift in user behaviour!
