It can be really hard to tell the fake Nintendo Wii from Real Nintendo Wii's
Price
A huge clue is the price, fakes are usually a lot cheaper than the genuine article.
But there are other things to look out for:
The box
Fakes usually don't come with all the proper information and accessories, so they often come in SMALLER boxes.
There should be LOADS of stuff inside the box, including the power adapters and information booklets.
Power Charger
But if the power charger wasn't inside the box, but came in a separate envelope, it's probably a fake.
Check the power charger VERY carefully.
Booklet and Safety Logos
The safety logo should be part of the plastic.
If it's just a sticker then it's a fake - and could be dangerous.
Turn the console over. Again the safety logo should be marked into the plastic
If it's just a sticker then it's a fake.
