I think they couldn't have thought of a worse name. When I first heard Microsoft's console was going to be called "XBox", I was like "What the hell is wrong with them!?". Then "XBox 360" had the number(360, of course) that had nothing to do with anything in the world. But this... This is just... SICK! It sounds like someone is taking a piss!
Any thoughts?

-The you know what console
- The console that must not be named
And everyone will shudder when its real name is spoken.

It's pronounced "we". *shudder*
The name was chosen for being easily memorised, pronounceable by people all around the world, and not needing abbreviation. And also it means something in Japanese. Please God... Have mercy...
Oh... You already said it Wifle. Never mind then.

EDIT: From the website above: "Do you have any Wii in stock?" asked the customer. "Of course we do," exclaimed the clerk, "Urine GameStop!" rofl.

ROFL.
It appears they've made it sound liek Wi-Fi. I'll still call it Revolution and they'll still know what I'm talking about. I'm complaining to Nintendo, anywho.

Wouldn't it be on Nintendo.com?
Sorry, I really just don't believe that its's true. I believe Nintendo aren't this stupid. They would probably have talked to Nintendo America about it and they would have picked up that it sounds exactly the same as Wee..
Also, Just an idea, Wii, Pronounced We, Might be, for some reason, meant to mean 'Yes' in French.. I'm pretty sure that's what it means..
But.. I'm pretty sure it's bs, still..

This is the official article, it should provide some real thought.
"Nintendo.com" said:
Introducing ... Wii. As in "we." While the code-name "Revolution" expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer. Wii will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else. Wii will put people more in touch with their games ... and each other. But you're probably asking: What does the name mean?
Wii sounds like 'we,' which emphasizes this console is for everyone. Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.
Wii has a distinctive "ii" spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play. And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of video games that sets it apart from the crowd.
So that's Wii. But now Nintendo needs you. Because, it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii. And together, Wii will change everything.
Things to consider: Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii Controller
Both were extrordinarily controversial at first, as everything has been from Nintendo in the past year, but both turned out to be very simple and easy, and make a lot of sense. Nintendo Wii seems to follow this path, as a short, different, memorable name that makes sense. Nintendo's Wifi Connection will be pushed to very far levels on the Nintendo Wii, and the name only reinforces it. As Xbox Live is all about community, so will the Nintendo Wii be, and without any need to pay, it will be even more so, as it won't be a "community" like Xbox Live, where it's seperated into different unified groups, but it will be a whole, an all of us, a "We" as one people, since everyone will get the same service, at no cost. Nintendo's Wii name certainly reflects this, it's certainly easy to remember, and it's going to have bad mouthing at first, but like the DS and the controller, it's bound to overcome that. Perry Kaplin herself said they released the name before E3 so that they could explain why it was the way it is. Sadly, you guys didn't seem to get that. :angry:

Actually, now that the shock off a console named "WHEE!!" wore off, it isn't such a bad name. "Nintendo Revolution" or "Nintendo Revolution System" was certainly more catchy and it gave a cool feel to it, Wii feels simple and looks a bit like iMac or something.
But still...
"Hey bro, lets go to my house and play some wee!" (weed?)
"As soon as I get home, I'm going to kick back and play with my wee..."
#22
Posted 27 April 2006 - 08:16 PM
But yeah, time will tell how this one turns out, and it's simple enough to work.
Plus, who's Nintendo's priority here? The Japanese market, which can barely pronounce "Levorution"? Or the crude English market that makes penis jokes about an easy to remember name? It's an awesome name in every language, like Nintendo said...except English...the current universal language. :|

Anyway, wouldn't "Nintendo Fun" sound better? It defines what it's made for and it's catchy too. And it's not so stupid. Maybe even "Nintendo For Everyone". What do you think?

Now it'll be like..
Viva La Wii.. ;\

I realize that if you know why the selection was made, it is a smart thing to name it if you look into the meaning. But here in North America, where Playstation and XBox rule supreme in the world of gaming, a system by that 3rd place Nintendo company called Wii almost seems like a joke. To somebody who isn't in tune with all the gaming news, it may seem like a joke.
People here could be laughing at this name for a long time to come, and the only way for Nintendo to fix their mindset is to surprise them with features that they have never seen before or on the other two next-gen consoles..... And maybe some mature titles.

The logo is sleek and certainly marketable. However, confusion will certainly ensue when it is being referred to in conversations.
One of the most convincing, and simple, arguments against the name that I've heard: If you need to explain the philosphy behind the name, then it's not a good choice.

And I highly reccomend that everyone, not just watch, read the article GL posted. Don't skim it either, read the WHOLE thing. I'm going back and supporting the name. It isn't a bad name, although that's not to say that it's exactly the greatest name in history.
If this pulls through how Nintendo expects it to go, I'm going to have a whole new level of faith in them. Things sure have been going how Nintendo've planned it these days. (Think: the DS' success. Nobody liked it the first few months in the U.S., now look at it, a year later!)

As for the name: Incredible ideas went behind it, it just kind of turned out to not be that great. Kind of like putting too many sweets in one cake...the ideas behind it were grand, and then they put them all together and...
"We"( community like Xbox Live)
Short( memorable)
Multilanguage( like Google/Ebay)
Cute( like Pixar's lamp...those "i"s)
Cool( a solid name in text, like iPod)
Just...too many chefs spoil the broth. It's okay to sacrifice one of those to make it a noninsulting name.

Now excuse my language but, THOSE ********S!!!!! NRS was bad enough, but now this!?!??! Nintendo is seriously screwing themselves. But I don't care what they are calling it, Wii is G*Y. I'm calling it the Rev. And I thought the name of the DS was okay. Not the best, but I could live with it. But Wiii....is just....... * shudders *.....ugh...
[EDIT].....* sigh * I read the link that GL posted... I still prefer the Revolution, it was distinct enough, but Wii will just have to work I guess....I feel my spark of fury fading....BUT I STILL DON'T HAVE TO LIKE IT.
Okay, fury's back.

In the end, it's about having fun while playing video games in your leisure time. It's not about a name when you're playing. And, hey, the name is short snappy, and has a lot going for it.
I knew when I heard the name that I hated it, but I also knew that it wouldn't stop me from buying it. But it'll take me a while to adjust to everybody saying, "Want to play my Wii?"

Oh, the Sony fanboys probably think that the Big N is doomed now. They thought the same of the DS, didn't they? And now the DS beats the PSP pretty well in the gaming industry. Then again, Sony-boys (and anti-Nintendo fanboys) think every move Nintendo makes will kill them.

- Niio as in 'Neo': Matrix
- Surreal attribute to it
- Flows with 'Nintendo'
- Much, Much Cooler
Of course, this is all hypothetical and will very likely not take effect. However, I am strongly considering sending a letter to Nintendo, the marketing department, or even Nintendo Japan suggesting this. If anyone else would like to contribute, that would be great.

And just as a side note, Nintendo made a stupid move releasing the name like this. I think that they should have either made it a surprise until the last few days before the system was released, or they should have just given us the name when they released the design. :P

Also, I think the Wii, and I thought this the moment I saw it, has an excellent controler. So different and original... I think it's the closest thing to a perfect controller, what with the motion sensoring and stuff.

Also, I wanted to add that I like playing games that are very colorful and unrealistic, becuase it's not similar to real life. Some people like games where you go around and kill everyone with a gun and that's exactly what people say is awful in real life.

Even if Nintendo tries to make games for all ages, there will always be people that will only go for the ''mature'' titles. Not to offend anyone, but studies prove that kids who play gory games that involve shooting people often, end up doing similar things in real life. Which is why I don't play M games a lot. Sure, whenever I go to my friends house, we play Halo for an hour or so, but I don't play it constantly. On top of that, your not shooting people, your shooting aliens.
Back on topic, I still hate the friggin' heck outa ninty for naming the rev the........w-w-w.......wi-w....' wii '...... That being said, nothing, but lack of money, will stop me from getting this consol. It's just too good.

Live with it.
You're going to buy a Wii eventually, anyway.

This will be my last post in this topic. I've reached closure with this. It's called Wii, it's a cool name, and I'm going to live with it.

Even though I said I wi(i)ll always call it Revolution, I'm saying Wii in conversations with my brother. I guess I'm getting used to it then.
I told a friend of mine the name yesterday. He didn't know it yet. Guess what his reaction was like. XD
