Revolution gets new name

[Xtremerunnerars]

Well, what do you guys think? Personally, i think the new name is STUPID. It's not a joke, either...check it out:

they're calling it the Wii, pronounced as "we"

[Dale]

Yeah i heard this, it's so it can be pronounced in any language as the same word, as wii is not a real word. Which is fucking pointless...

"It makes you feel more connected with the console" Because it has the same pronounciation as the word "we" haahah wtf!!?!.

Anyways, looks like a good console nonetheless. And the cinematic thing with the letters i and w is cool :P

[katgirl21]

thats a stupid name........

I mean, it's rather confusing. Many will be confused when it is used in general speech. I can't think of any good examples, but people will think you are saying "we" or "wee" when you are saying "wii"

they should have had a naming contest or something, it would be better.

However, that little weird video thingy looked awesome.

Point made.

I feel they will change it after they read a few forum boards and see how fucking stupid of a decesion it was. Honestly "Wii" how retardered is that. It doesnt matter if it can be prounced as the same word in all lagnguages becuase it has no definition! Just call it the Revolution.

Like I said in the Console thread. Nintendo has a way of fucking up even the most brilliant of ideas.

They say they want to attract a broader, more mature audience... but then everything they do is targetted to kids. They must have the most disconnected marketing department. I wonder if they even talk to eachother before making decisions like this.

If I go to buy one you can bet I'm asking for a "nintendo revolution" and not a "weeeeeeeee!". They'd fucking lock me up in the mental ward.
