I thought Nintendo fanbois were a bit more mature than their sony or microsoft counterparts, after all, Wii don't need to have "bewbz and gunz" games, even though Wii have our fair share of pretty violent and adult-themed games.
What the fuck do I see for the last six pages?
"LOL WEE LOL LOL IT'S THE NINTEDO PEEPEE OMFG LOL FAIL".
Ace : right, because *you* will not buy one based on its name? You will, right? Because it's gonna play mario, zelda, hopefully a lightsaber game and such things.
Now tell me who do you think is stupid enough to not buy a console based on its name. Okay. Now tell me, would these people have bought a LOL REMOTE CONTROL XBOX? Because they're 90% the same people. The 10% other marketshare would be those who can't be arsed to play video games, even if it's sudoku or casino games.
Again, I don't understand such an overwhelming negative response. The important thing is the buzz. Look at the internet shitstorm happening right now! This is PR GOLD!
You're doing exactly what Nintendo wants you to do, and as their marketing managers already said, I'll paraphrase it, they don't give a flying fuck about the hardcore gamers who will buy it anyway, they just want people to say "Wii? WTF? Oh, remote control. Lemme see... Whee, baseball game! Hey, can you show me how to play mario with this thing? Whee, that's fun!".
That's assuming the console isn't total shit, of course. But a weird name will OBVIOUSLY draw mass curiosity, and that's something not even a three-hour commercial on MTV can buy.
tl;dr : cheer up emokid. WRYYYYYY!
