The Wii HomeBrew Installer will safely and easily unlock your Wii enabling you to play copied games and run homebrew applications.

There is a lot of information on the web about the Wii HomeBrew Installer. I spent many hours researching the various methods, but a lot of the information was outdated or wrong.

I would like to share my experience with the Wii homebrew installer with you to help you make sense of everything! It turned out to be quite a confusing topic due to the amount of misinformation online.

The Nintendo Wii has been on the market for 3 years now, and is still flying off store shelves.  The Wii has seen a price drop recently and reports are coming in that more and more of you are going crazy for it.  Cammie Dunaway, the executive vice president of sales and marketing for Nintendo has stated that sales are up 85% on a week by week basis.

UK Retailer, John Lewis are also reporting that they are selling 1 Nintendo Wii every 60 seconds on the run up to Christmas which is crazy for a product that has been available so cheaply for 3 years already.

Nintendo recently announced to the BMO Capital Market conference that the Nintendo Wii is thrashing its rivals when it comes to female uptake of the console.

According to Nintendo’s Reggie Flis-Aime the Nintendo Wii captures 80% of the entire female gaming market. While the Xbox 360 (11%) and Playstation 3 (9%) cant even begin to compete against that number.

Thats a pretty impressive number, and you have to commend Nintendo for reaching out to previously untapped audiences in the market, like my gran!
