The Wii is Nintendo's fifth home game console and the direct successor to the GameCube. It was released in 2006 and is considered a "seventh generation" console, competing against Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3. As of the beginning of 2009, the Wii was the leader in home console sales. Its defining feature is the Wii Remote, or "Wiimote," a motion-sensing wireless controller that responds to the physical movements of the player. This revolutionary controller acts as the baseball bat while you swing for the fence or the bowling ball as you go for the strike. The Wii is also famous for engaging a wider demographic of players than is traditional, with games such as Wii Sports and Wii Fit appealing to older and younger generations alike. A successor to music-themed games like Guitar Hero and Band Hero, DJ Hero allows players to become a DJ by following instructions in-game to mix songs. The game comes programed with 94 remixes of songs for players to emulate. DJ Hero has been released across all major platforms, including the Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2 and PlaySation 3. This game is one of many examples of "real world play" shifting into the virtual world.
