The system will be backwards compatible with the previous console, the Wii. Being that Nintendo has continued to be outsold by its competitors in 2010 and 2011, the Wii U is a smart move for Nintendo. Running another low-end encroachment (Wii U) could be Nintendo’s successor of the Wii.

The Sherman Act and how monopolies get a bad rap I don’t think it is any secret that the word “monopoly” carries a negative connotation in our society. I have to admit that up until a few weeks ago I would have said that monopolies are always an inherently bad thing for consumers. Obviously that isn’t the case, but there does appear to be a great deal of agreement that when monopolies take actions which have anti-competitive consequences this is harmful to consumers in the long-run, hence the Sherman Act of 1890.
