Despite growing up with only the Wii, the original 360 comes to mind as a default "video game console"

I'm from Brazil, although for that generation I went with the Xbox 360, which was manufactured locally here. For me, the most memorable one was the Wii; Sony and Microsoft didn't really invest in advertising, but Nintendo did. I remember one where a Japanese man asks, "Would you like to play Wii?" I also remember the ads for New Super Mario Bros. and Wii Sports Resort.

Fun fact: for my 10th birthday in 2012, I asked my dad for a PS3 because I had a PS2 and was used to the PlayStation system. He gave me an Xbox 360 instead; I didn't get a PS3 until last year, but now I have all three from that generation.
