Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
This time around it is the Wii Speak microphone peripheral and associated Wii Speak channel on the shopping list for Wii owners.
Arriving in North America this November 16th and Europe on December 5th, the device allows users to speak to people on their Friends List with Mii animation providing visual representation. (No Australian/New Zealand confirmation yet).
Wii speakers will be able to leave voice or text messages as well as narrate captions for a photo show. Up to four consoles can hook up for a little Wii conferencing.
Wii Speak will be available as a standalone product or as a bundle with the new Animal Crossing: Let’s Go to the City game. No pricing has been announced at this point in time.
It will be interesting to try out a Wii Speak – sitting as it does near the TV/Monitor – is the increased potential for “feedback” over the traditional – less party orientated – console headsets sported by rival gaming consoles.
