What a shit name for a console.

 

[arnalion]

Don't know what to say... i'm stunned

EDIT: Hehe the systemwars at gamespot is a little chaotic right now. ^^
The moderators have never worked so much in their whole life.

I need the toilet after reading that page. Not a fan of the name at all - don't see what was wrong with Revolution to be honest.

 

[SWAT_Marc]

Wheee!! ^_^

It's also a revolutionary name , though it does not convince me either...

Trotter: "Revolution" was too overbearing IMHO (but was better than Wii :blush

 

[zAlbee]

WTF. Why, why must they be retarded and destroy all hope.

I prefer believing that we're on 1st April, seriously.

Let's try to be optimistic... at least a Nintendo Wii emulator can be named Revolution.

lain:
I think I'll continue calling it revolution...

All in favor of never referring to this console as wii, and continuing to refer to it as the Revo, say I.

I.

 

[Clements]

Ya, Wii is a poor choice for a name (and this is coming from a loyal Nintendo fan).

 

[Talas]

Sounds pretty... ahm... bad. But what about the european countries? I mean do they really want to unleash that name upon countries like Germany and Spain? In Germany "Wii" would sound very funny as a name for a console.

 

[Doomulation]

Well, of course they will. A console's name is the same everywhere, right?
Hexdecimal: I!

It depends, NES/Famicom. But it will probably have the same name WW

I love nintendo but for the love of God what are they thinking? Do they think were all 3 yearolds? We are gonna be running around walmart going "Gimme my Wii Wii games!" , let the puns begin. Did you get ahold of your Wii yet? I heard you can plug your NDS into your Wii and so on...

 

[Agozer]

haha

Nintendo Wii

What the hell were those Nintendo execs smoking?

[/zboard]

I'm sure the name doesn't hinder console sales. Besides, at least it's "different".
