hehe wii,
"I wonder if i can connect my wii to some one elses"
"now i can play with my wii all night long"
anyway I think it's an alright name, we'll get used to it eventually. Like the controller first came alot of people dun like now got alot more people...

At first I think the move make by Nintendo is "retarded". After long time of thinking. It becames "brilliantly retarded"

The name Revolution is not very suitable anyway. Why?

If you see the funny poster my last post , you see the name "Revolution" will be outdated and obsolete after a few years (and after Sony and MS copy the controller for PS3 and XBOX 360)

You should think about what market Nintendo targeting, fanboys will certainly get it even they don't like the name (it's the games that matters), people who shuns gaming before will be attracted to Wii because of its elegant design and unique gameplay (not to mention without stereotype names like Playstation, GameCube or XBOX.

The people who bashing it doesen't give it a damn for Nintendo's next-gen console even it's still called Revolution. They just sit in and wait an oppertunity to hackle it when they smell something. Go play with your Gizmondo or whatever!

You mean 'We'. Nope, nothing kiddy here.

brilliant or down right stupid, at least it keeps us talking about it all since they have announced the name.

well, the marketing strategy has paid off, aint it ?

think about it for a little bit.

by using the lame-ass Wii name, EVERYBODY, and i mean EVERY-FCUKING-body is talking about it. love the name or hate it, you're now bound to know what it is.

is that smart marketing or what?

Yeah it could be the new marketing strategy, put some wierd catchy name, let everyone laugh at it, soon it'll be famous.

more like a rip off of dio brando's infamous battlecry

Wii itself are still fine, but Mario Wii and Zelda Wii I don't want to imagine that

Original GC project name!! DOLPHIN!!

Original Wii project name!! REVOLUTION!!

The lesson? Nintendo does super hip market research costing billions of dollars for their project names. Then they get a retarded monkey to randomly sit on a keyboard to determine the final name.

The name is ok i guess, need to get used to it...that's all.
Waiting to see Red Steel on Wii...looks awesome~

oooooo....it sounds like World War 2!!! Nintendo WII!!!!

so is PS3 gonna respond to that? maybe Sony Suri?!

After several years, it'll not be revolution anymore. Wii is easier to remember and pronounce although it sounds silly. Does the name iPod describe its function? No. How about Viiv?

It generates controversy. It's free publicity. Perhaps they can start a true revolution just as noisy as the iPod's has been. It all starts with a name.

My only worry is games will be named -Wii. I mean Super Mario Wii would just not be right

don't worry though....they never made Mario and Zelda called Mario Gamecube and Zelda Gamecube rite??? hahaha i dunno why u all think of Mario Wii and Zelda Wii...those only applicable to handheld only....Mario DS, Zelda DS...

to make it more hip...we can called Nintendo Wii --> N V....sounds cool!!! cooler than x-lunchbox 3607201080 or Pixel-Shader 3 (PS3) <--outdated tech

Wii 's spec will be similar to old xbox... i wonder how's the graphic

It's only rumours only, plus graphic won't matter to Nintendo fans. All they want is games that make full use of its hardware and the controller.

a total wrong there. same processor clock speed, same ram capacity, but TOTALLY DIFFERENT architecture.

are you saying a 700mhz powerpc apple computer is just as slow as a 700mhz intel windoz pc? you just can't compare the two. (yes, the recent IGN article on this was total bullshit)
