This is for the Video game fans out there. I am curious as to what people think of the new name that Nintendo has decided for their next gen console.

Introducing the Nintendo Wii! Apparently it contains the final secret to the Revolution according to developers. They chose this name over the Revolution as in severeal languages, there is no pronunciation for the letter V. They are going for a universal touch.

I could learn to live with it, but I really wouldn't mind if they changed it. I think it's a little silly.

I know what they were shooting for, and it's a cool idea that it means "we" to suggest that the console is for everybody. It's cool that the "ii" represents the controllers. But...seriously. It's pronounced "we". That's just not good.

I don't like it.

Hate the name, but it won't keep me from buying one.

The other theory is that they haven't even trademarked it and it is just a joke to point out how silly it is to judge a system on its name/specs before even playing any games on it.

I'm between the middle two, so I voted for both I think it's going to wind up being made fun of. Not a clue why they would've abandoned the whole Revolution idea. I liked that one well enough

My DS and I were talking about this last night. We don't really like it. He said he thought they should have kept the name 'Revolution' since that's what the code name was while it was being developed.

Well Like I put earlier in my post, developers are saying the Wii could be the final clue to the revolution hmm, Wii I mean. Wii just need to wait 10 more days until E3 and the unveiling at the Kodak Theater. Until then I will hold my judgement. I mean I would hate to be a Wiiner for no reason

I liked the revolution better, but I won't buy one of the new consoles before the PS3 is available anyway. I used to be a big Nintendo-fan since the GameBoy, hav the NES, the SNES, the 64 and the GameCube, and all generations of the GameBoy. But last year I preferred the PSP over the DS and love it. I guess I will go for the PS3 too, but want to be able to compare it to the Wii and the XBox360 before the final decision.
