Wtf.

Erm... Yeah.... Wii... Right...

Seriously, Wii? I understand their intentions and I guess the weirdness of it fits with the whole "appealing to everyone," but I can't help feeling like they're digging their own grave there.

I'll buy it^^

Nitendo has a great rep for awesome releases. I wonder how good this will be.

wii?!?!?!?! The first better name that came to mind has also three letters and the same starting letter or in other words WTF?
Sheesh talk about lame naming.

Revolution sounds so much better... and is appropriate in meaning.

Unless "wii" is some word in japanese.

Wii is used because it sounds like We or summat it said on there.

i doubt the name will affect the sales regardless of its ridiculous sounding name.

wii because we and i guess the two i's could look like two people either way revolution > wii

They should have been more creative like Sony or Microsoft and gone with Nintendo 5.

Zombie Modok: I want to know how the third party companies who have been using the Revolution name, quite proudly, feel about this.
Disco Miatch: "We will most definatly be making Games for the...for the what? Who wrote Wee on my speech? That shithead is fired! FIRED I SAY"
Zombie Modok: I don't know about you, but I can't wait to go over to my friend's house and play with his Wii.
Disco Miatch: I hope I can connect my wee to my friends
Disco Miatch: Maybe we can join our wees over the internet! with their new Wifi compatabilities!
Zombie Modok: oh man
Disco Miatch: did I just win?
Zombie Modok: Maybe if they release that green color they'll call it the limited edition Kiwii Wii.
Disco Miatch: I have An Blue Wee
Disco Miatch: But I want a Green one
Zombie Modok: Wii has a distinctive "ii" spelling that symbolizes two men's erect penises side by side.
Disco Miatch: You can almost see them touching
Zombie Modok: It's so beautiful :-)

Touche!

I clicked that link.
From the looks of it, Nintendo have been taken over by Apple.
OMG!!!

I don't like the name, They should be more creative and be less offensive.

I thought it was very creative and very inoffensive.
Still fucking weird, though.

Wii? WTF? What kind of fucking name is that?. Stick with the Revolution Nintendo, because it's a much better name than the stupid Wii.

"Hey guys, do you want to come over and play with my Wii?"

How embarassing!.

Nintendo please go back to Revolution you have a great system coming out with a really unique controller but you need a decent name for your system!.

"Hey guys, do you want to come over and play with my Wii?"

Yea, thats exactly what I was thinking.

i thought i clicked an apple link or something. then i was just thinking "wii? what the fuck is a wii?"

Found a rather funny comic about this thanks to guys at Penny Arcade...
