The Vii is modeled to be a look-alike of the Wii, even using the motion-sensing technology that the Wii uses. Looks-wise, it looks almost like the Wii. Hell, even the developers of the Wii might mistake the Wii as a Vii. With the exception of the games, the playing style of a Wii and Vii is quite similar, which involves the flailing of the arms about.
To prove my point that the Wii looks a Vii, I've decided to add some pictures to prove my point. First, this is how the Wii looks like :
The Wii is on the left, while the Vii is on the right. Picture courtesy of cn.engadget.com.
To show that the Vii has the same functions as the Wii, I've included the commercials for both the Wii and the Vii.
The commercial for the Wii, quite interesting, I must say.
For the Vii :
To be honest, the subtitles in the video are pretty inaccurate. To help those people who don't understand english to understand what the commercial is talking about, I've provided my own translations, though they might be inaccurate.

For people who are interested, this is how the inside of a Wii looks like :
And this is how the inside of a Vii looks like :
More chinese!
0.11 - 0.22 : Dear readers, you are now looking at the same thing as us. This is the last screw, and we can immediately find out what the inside of the Vii really looks like.
0.22 - 0.28 : It must be scary. We have many different versions, and I predict that the inside should be full of air. Then, Jie-Er, what do you think?
0.28 - 0.35 : It's secretive. Is it secretive? *Laughs* I guess it's cotton, and I think cotton should be heavier than this.
0.35 - 0.39 : I don't care, we are gonna find out soon. Come on.
0.42 - 0.51 : I have a feeling that we won't be able to piece it back together. Don't worry, for it is a Vii.. It's coming, it's coming, we are going to find out immediately about how the inside of a Vii looks like!
0.54 - 1.06 : This is too shocking! This is too surprising, Jack. Why don't they make it smaller? Which also means we can also make another set this small.
1.07 - 1.15 : I think what they are trying to do is that is to model it to look like the Wii as a selling point. Otherwise.. For what purpose? It's too powerful..
1.17 - 2.14: Are there any professionals who can explain this to us? Ok. Take this to Jouston so he can explain. At least we cleared some things here : 1. The ports are real. We don't know what it's for , but it's definitely real.
2. They added a metal plate, with fear that the Vii might not be heavy enough to give it weight.
And I see, I think this is the power source, it's simply just something that looks like a power source. They purportedly left 4 connecting points, but in actual fact, they only used 2 of it. With 2 not in use. Next up is the transmission line, which has three lines out from it, but it is only left with 2. Is this correct? What do you think? I don't think I know.
2.15 - 2.21 : Are there any readers who can help us answer this question? It's just like this, no more!
2.30 - 2.39 : I really don't know what to say anymore. I feel our next step should be, you know what, we can make a small home for it, then we can play.. Give this to Jouston. Good idea.
I pity the guy named Jouston, and I'd say the Chinese took nanotechnology to a new level.

How many times did you watch the videos?
I think.. around 7 - 8 times, excluding rewinds. Had to take notes.
