Wii: first a symphony, now Opera
Nintendo's keynote on Tuesday began with a symphony: Miyamoto came out onto the stage conducting with the Wiimote. The following day they announced an Opera ... web-browser for the Nintendo Wii. According to Nintendo's Genyo Takeda:
"For our Wii console launch in 2006, we required a browser that was fast and secure with support for the latest standards including AJAX. Opera proved perfect for our purposes and is an exceptional addition to both the Nintendo DS and the Wii console."
Nintendo made a similar arrangement with Opera in February to bundle the browser with their Nintendo DS handheld system. Sony has their own (Gecko-based) browser for the PSP. Question is, will the PS3 ship with a built-in browser, and why hasn't Microsoft dropped their own Internet Explorer onto the 360?
