The heck? Revolution = Wii? What's Wii? How do you even pronounce Wii? I like the codename better, they should've done the names the other way around. And is that the logo? An "i"? How...creative. Bleh. But the lame name won't stop me from wanting to get one I don't think.

Edit: Explination. Really lame one at that. Whee. I mean Wii.

I heard there were really lame puns in the release thing. Josh keeps me up to date on these things. :D

I don't think the console developers should be allowed to pick their own console names. Xbox 360 is stupid, PS3 is uncreative, and Wii is lame and used for puns.

heheheh, I asked my brother if he'd seen this and he wrote back:

Yup. Some guys were talking about it at dinner yesterday... (yes, I
stayed late enough to have dinner- we are trying to get our movie
finished before E3, so it's a little crazy)

Here's some of the urine jokes we came up with.


The one time you don't want your Wii to go in the toilet...

Will it have streaming content?

It seems bad to let other people play with your Wii...


Hmmm...

Hehe.

I think the only good name that anyone has come up with for a game console was the Nintendo. Seriously.

PlayStation = Nh.
Gamecube = The heck?
Xbox = Catchy, but not so much.
Xbox 360 = Pft. As if.
PS2 = Nh.
PS3 = Nh!
Gameboy = Wha?
Gameboy Advance = Wha x 2?
Revolution = SWEET NAME. SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT
Wii = Carpy. Seriously.

They should let you and me name the systems. We could come up with super great titles XD

I grew up on the Atari, Genisis and Nintendo. Now those are some solid names. I say to these new names: Ni!

is pretty good. I got bored and quit reading a little before the end but it says some interestings things about why Nintendo isn't so foolish for picking Wii. However I still think it's lame, and I wish they'd've at least picked a different syllable, heheh.
