The Nintendo Revolution has a name...

[Sandman]

The Nintendo Wii.

That's not a typo. It is really going to be called the 'Wii'.

Hopeless. Worse that Xbox 360. Worse than any other console ever. Worse than almost any other consumer product ever.

Mum, I need a Wii!

[joncha]

Wiik

[ZargonX]

Looks better on paper then said out loud...

That said, if the name stops people from buying something they want solely for that reason, that makes them a bit foolish and shallow.

[Verto]

+1! See OT for more!

[Imran Siddiqui]

Mama, can I get Wii Wii?

Eww, that's disgusting! You're grounded!

[Apocalypse]

How can you be happy about deciding on that name?

[Fake Boris]

Is it called the same in Japanese?

[Silver14]

Would the French get confused? Oui or Wii?

Will the Germans call it Vee?

[Kassiopeia]

Wow. It's like they're actively finding ways to screw this up.

[Kataphraktoi]

WHY OH WII??? lol

The dumb-name-o-meter is reading abnormally high levels...

[Odin]

OMFG, Nintendo just won the award for the lamest name for a console EVER.

WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING?

Crap. Well, I beat you to that joke in the OT thread, at least. Anyway, these are Japanese people wii're talking about here. Rejected concepts may have included "PlayWithHandsBox," "TotalSquare," or "Cherry Blossom." Or they could have decided to counter the XBox's hip name with the Nintendo CokBlok.

[Silver14]

CokBlok sounds like an add on device for X rated games...

You can have the Oui joke in the OT thread, no +1 there.

Besides yours was better.

[DrSpike]

This clearly warrants discussion here too.
