Will all of you whining pansies calm down?
It's only a fucking name, sheesh. Personally, I found "gamecube" to be a shitty name, well guess what, I always referred to the home nintendo system as... "the nintendo". Hey, you got the nintendo hooked up? Hey, let's play nintendo! Shit, you modded your nintendo to let you win at monkey ball!

I'll keep doing that, and worry about the games.

at least nintendo gets good promotion with this "unusual" name. spreads throughout the internet like a wildfire. everybody is talking about the name and that's what nintendo intended. good job, well done.

I agree, but it doesn't remove the fact that WII means "piss" in english, and that the name sounds childish and shitty (thats no fact though)

so, original: YAY,
but fashioned: NAY

Exactly, exactly. Bonus points for originality (something Nintendo excels at)!

But what they don't excel at is PR and marketing. Sure they can drum up hype, but the mainstream is a very superficial place. A place that doesn't usually want dual screens, new controller designs, and pseudo-virtual reality. Titles, image, and brand are the first thing the mainstream consumer will look at. That's just how it is. I sincerely hope Nintendo can pull off this Wii name (if it's real, that is). And if they can't... well they have noone to blame but themselves. As well as the closed-minded society we live in.

Is it just Wee? i don't think so u can call it "W2" or "Wii too" (wanna play), "W(ireless) too", the compinations are many as long as u have imagination. And why is playsatation? a better name it always reminds me of bus station! xbox 360? i will never like this 360 at the end, that ofcourse didn't stop me from buying it. Remember the first time you had your DS in your hands? i'm sure the feeling wi(i)ll be even better with the new Wii's controler.

Ah yes, but are you the airhead teenaged boy who will buy any console as long as it has the Sony name on it? Or because it has the "360" (a common term used by skateboarders, BMX, etc.. which are popular with teens)? Obviously not, or you'd be too busy writing graffiti on the walls, while listening to "fiddy cent"... to be here. That's the mass market: the uninformed and the sheep of society. The teen that buys a PS2 because his friends say Sony rock, the guy who buys the inferior HDTV for more money because it's a particular brand, the mom who buys her kids the $7 namebrand cereal when she could get the same thing from the noname company for less. That's who will reject the Wii, the mainstream. Those who arn't within our niche (but growing) circle of video game fans.
