"he" there is no he. Nintendo came up with the name. And yes it does have meaning. By your logic no new words would ever be made. And if you look at hte subtitle it says "The gamemaker has officially ditched the drab name for its next-gen console and adopted the more sophisticated moniker "Wii"." I think Businessweek would know a bit about what they are talking about

Well you can say that, but the people on acmlm board have a poll thats said which is better revolution or wii. 80% said Revolution because they picked that and said that Wii makes no sence and has no meaning.

Again, I don't care, Businessweek is respected, they like the name. Also a person that isn't buying a system becuase of it's name is silly. I may not actually like the name, but from a marketing standpoint Wii is better.

One thing do you think Wii is better than Revolution Michael? Well if I get a chance to buy it I will, but not because of the name that I won't buy it and yes that would be silly.

I'm really indifferent. Rev. is cool, but Wii is too. I like both names.

Like I said.... 'Wii' is not a clever marketing name what-so-ever.... My dog could write catchy slogans that use the word 'Wii'

I'm not sure if you get the song reference, also I'm just joking around, they aren't going to use that.
And like I said it's just a name.

I for one can't stand the name, this one time I use the word "We" in a sentence some douchebag comes along and says something like "ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT NINTENDO'S NEW SYSTEM!?!? YOUR A N00B, YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT VIDEO GAMES!". So no sir, I don't like the name Wii, but I can live with it because Nintendo is awesome.

I also don't like people saying that Nintendo will end up like Sega with the we being the Wii being Nintendo's last console, the Sega Saturn sucked the Gamecube didn't, why no one bought it for some reason confuses the hell out of me.

Sega also put the Saturn out as like a surprise. Nobody knew it was coming out or something like that if I remember correctly. Also I think once the name has been around for a while everything surrouding it will go away. You gotta admit though the name has got people talking. I don't get to watch E3 live, but I think I'll download the conference burn it to a VCD and watch it on a DVD player instead of my laptop.

Americans arn't really as loud as you think we are.... Although, I'm pretty loud...

DNG Quarterly said... and I quote "My dog could write catchy slogans that use the word 'Wii' "

Let me tell you, thats quite an honorable paper...

Anywho... Everyone I know hates the name, its gunna be a sweet system, but my guess is that this will spell disaster for Nintendo...But, I guess only time will tell

Some of them are lol.
But by the time it's released I doubt anything will really be said about the name.

It was during school, I kind of knew the guy. I was talking to someone about it and the asshat yelled that at me. I'm guessing it was because I called it the Revolution on the same day the Wii was announced the new name.
