China comes out with Vii 2 console - a Wii clone console

You've got to hand it to those manufacturers in China. Asides from handling a lot of outsourcing projects for big companies in the U.S., they still have time to create their own consoles playing on the strengths of the more popular consoles out there. In particular, the China-made Vii console has put itself forward with a second line of Wii cloned consoles.

From the look right down to the whole family appeal of the Wii console, the Vii 2 pretty much mimics all of the Wii's finer points. Aside from the fact that components are cheaper in the country, copyright issues aren't that closely enforced thus making the "cloning" of the Wii such an easy endeavor.

Considering that Nintendo hasn't really taken a lot of legal action to stop the production of the previous line of the console, perhaps the phrase "imitation is the highest form of flattery" does apply to this particular situation for once.

In any case, you can enjoy the video created by Alphatrainer on this China-made Wii clone below.

That's awful....

HA!! Now it looks like a PS3! If Nintendo didn't take legal action, Sony absolutely will... they're just like that.

Well...

The first Vii's been out for a couple of months and no sign of any lawsuits stopped them from making a second in the series. *shrugs*

Vii

I wouldn't mind buying one if it's only like $5.00.

Lame name...

Adding a number after an existing console name instead of coming up with a new one is so lame...
