'''Wii''' (Japanese: '''ウィー''' ''Wii'') is [[Nintendo]]'s seventh-generation console, which serves as the company's competition for Sony's {{wp|PlayStation 3}} and Microsoft's {{wp|Xbox 360}}. Its handheld counterpart is the [[Nintendo DS]]. The [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s graphical and CPU capabilities are nearly identical to the Wii. Like its predecessor, the [[Nintendo GameCube]], the Wii is able to connect to software titles on the handheld of this generation, the [[Nintendo DS]]; has a Pokémon game that serves as a battle arena for the [[Generation IV]] Pokémon games—in this case, [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]; and also has a storage system: [[My Pokémon Ranch]]. It was succeeded by the [[Wii U]], which is backwards-compatible with all Wii games and controllers. | '''Wii''' (Japanese: '''ウィー''' ''Wii'') is [[Nintendo]]'s seventh-generation console, which serves as the company's competition for Sony's {{wp|PlayStation 3}} and Microsoft's {{wp|Xbox 360}}.
