I'm starting to get used to it... but it's gonna take some time before I really totally get used to it. Then again, I have half a year left, or maybe more, since I still don't know when the Revo... ehhh Wii is gonna be released in Europe.

It is Nintendo Wii, or simply 'wii'? If it's the latter, I bet they'll call all their future console Wii something if it catches on. If they want it to catch on, and it does, they're going to re-use it.

I say that if you won´t get the Wii because of the name, your not worth playing any video game! (I have a very bitter hate against posers)

I´m not pointing the finger at anyone by the way

Probs not, actually the name is only good in Japan.

 

If we look at the History of Nintendos home console names:

 

NES = An Entertainment system that was made by Nintendo

SNES = A Super(upgraded) Entertainment system that was made by Nintendo

N64 = A Nintendo console with 64 bit graphics

Gamecube = A cube designed console that plays games

 

 

So in theory why not name it the N5, Revolution, or even Blue Wave.

 

But why the FUCK Wii, bet they thought iPods are cool - need an extra i to show we care about multiplayer and very wholesome - oh its about "WE".

 

They have just alienated all gamers everywhere and have gone after people who actually don't play games.

 

So FUCK off Nintendo, everytime yourgetting it right you screw it up.

 

We oui Wii

My conclusion is that the name's not for the gamers, the games will be for us,-and everyone, but the name will certainly attract girls and older people, I can't imagine a married thirty something man (or woman) with kids, seeing an ad for The Nintendo Revolution, and feeling like it's something they would want, but I can definitely see them feeling that way if it were called Wii. First they'll say, "Wii? that's strange, hmm.." The biggest thing it has going for it is that it's different enough to break away from the current videogame image, and that's exactly what Nintendo wants to do, they won't be thinking, "HAHA That sounds like Wee, I'm too grown for THAT!" It's a much more inviting name than Revolution is for the people they need to reach with the name, because any real gamer will play and buy one regardless of the name.

 

hell, I could even see my parents, who are over 50, and black, being interested in it.

Mah, I don't care about that name, but thats besides the point... I lot of people thought that the name "gameboy" was crap at first, same witht he PlayStation, or the X-BOX (original and the 360), iPods, amazon, google and yahoo, and possibly some others I forgot to mention.
