JackieChan April 29, 2006 Share JackieChan GC Alumni April 29, 2006 Big mistake for a name. It'll still be the Rev to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goofus Maximus April 29, 2006 Share Goofus Maximus Member April 29, 2006 Whee! Wii is such a wee name, we think. They would have done better sticking with "Revolution" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobaltgrc April 29, 2006 Author Share cobaltgrc Member April 29, 2006 I think the name is so mind blowingly bizarre that I'm starting to like it. I mean who names their product 'Wii'? It's just really wierd and bold of Nintendo.. plus the Wii is going to be a sweet system and at $200 (rumor) it's worth picking up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Cool April 30, 2006 Share Mr.Cool Member April 30, 2006 When it comes to names, i say Nintendo's are the most original... We all know the developers from Sony can count, thus naming it Playstation 1, 2, and 3 However, the same cannot be said for the developers at Microsoft who seem uncapable of counting (360 doesnt come after 1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penty May 1, 2006 Share Penty Member May 1, 2006 Tom's Hardware is speculating that Wii is nothing more than a marketing ploy to generate Buzz and at E3 they will announce that after extensive feedback they decided to chage the name to....

J. Dunlavy May 3, 2006 Share J. Dunlavy Member May 3, 2006 (edited) ya the new Nintendo "wii" is said as "wee." stupid name, but oh well, its just a name. C'mon guys, train your ears to hear "Google" or "iPod" for the first time. "GameBoy." Wii is a kick-butt console and it'll be a household name before you know it. Remember, no publicity is bad publicity. Edited May 3, 2006 by J. Dunlavy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobaltgrc May 4, 2006 Author Share cobaltgrc Member May 4, 2006 Agreed J. Dunlavy. I'm already used to the name Wii. It's going to be a great console.. and it'll be the first one I'll be picking up in a long time. Last console I owned (and still own) was a Sega Genesis. I'm really looking forward to the Wii.

Goofus Maximus May 10, 2006 Share Goofus Maximus Member May 10, 2006 Our kids will definitely get more excercise with the Wii than with any other console, except for those with DDR controllers, I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
