    I HOPE THIS IS A POST-APRIL FOOLTS JOKE! WTF a WII... OMG I owned a Wii... what an embarrasing name... sure it's "cute"... but WTF! Okay, yeah I'm not a super fan of Nintendo but I love their originality... but this... is... an... absolute... abomination!

    Sure many will like it... but saying I own a PS3 or X-Box360 soo feels different than saying I own a Wii!!

    I know, alot of people don't like the name, I think it not that big of a deal. Everyone I know, just calls the latest Nintendo system "Nintendo".

    For the people who don't know.

    Its said like: We

    Like: We are cool.

    Wii is a crap name. Revolution was far better IMO.

    No. Just no. You do realize alot of business will simply not happen because of the name now, right? I know that sounds stupid, but who honestly wants to have a Nintendo Wii (pronounced like "we") in their household compared to a Nintendo Revolution (and yes, the Revolution was a suiting name for the new console, as its bring something 100% new to the console gaming world).

    Personally I think this name is crap and they should change it back to their codename (Nintendo Revolution).

    Just because you are used to the Revolution.
    Anyways, it makes sense to alienate the intire gaming industry as a first step to getting customers that ain't been into games before :rofl:
