I thought it was a crap name, until…

 

'Wii can be remembered by everyone around the world no matter what language they speak. No confusion, no need to abbreviate.'

 

Now consider that Re-vo-lu-tion is a four-syllable word. It's meaningless to non-English speakers, and it'd be hard to say. The English speaking market wouldn't appreciate a four-syllable Japanese word, meaning the same/a similar thing, especially if it was hard to pronounce.

 

Then again, I'm not that bothered what it's called, as long as it's fun.

 

Thing is though the name Wii has to be explained where as everyone knows what Revolution means.

Ha, you know I thought Nintendo could really do it this time.

 

*Looks again*

 

hahahahahahaha

 

I can see it right now:

 

"Hey Mum, call me when dinner's ready. I'm gonna go play with my Wii."

 

Ahhhh, *sigh, wipes tears from eye*. Microsoft have already won. I mean seriously, what kind of casual gamer is going to buy Wii.

Picture this: you walk in to GAME looking to buy the latest Nintendo console. You stoll up to the counter and ask the person behind the counter, who's already giving you a slightly arrogant look, "Can I have a Wii, please?"

 

No matter, we'll all get used to it. I mean just look at the Xbox.

I kinda agree. But 'Revolution' means nothing to someone who doesn't speak English. Hmm... I don't really care what it's called though ^___^

Ooh! Just had a thought! It could be some sort of anti-publicity thing, like FCUK looking like the word 'fuck'. The console's name will be ridicluled, but the console will be praised, people will remember the name of it because it sounds like 'wee', yet people won't be put off buying it, just as people aren't put of buying FCUK.

 

Possibly?
