Nintendo is about to roll out a revised model of the Wii, just in time for pre-holiday shopping. The streamlined model now sits horizontally instead of vertically like the original. It is also a bit smaller and no long has the ability to play Gamecube games. The tweaked Wii could be the last act for this particular system as Nintendo will move on to its next-gen console Wii U.
Since its launch in November 2006, the Wii has sold over 87 million units, making it the best-selling game console of all time (even outdoing consoles with better graphics like Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3).
