Nintendo's Revolution Gets Name Change

[V_R]

I was going to post this a while ago but forgot all about it, sorry.....

Nintendo's Revolution has a new name, and i dont like it!
Personally i think the Revolution sounds a hell of alot better than the Wii........

Nintendo has ended speculation about the name of its next-generation console - code-named Revolution. The company today announced it will be called "Nintendo Wii", pronounced as "We".

Wii? Wee? Tiddle? Urine?

Some peeps really have no idea how to market a product, have they?

I can just imagine the conversation if one guy asked his mate what he thought of his new gaming machine.

'So how's your wee then?'

'Oh, you know, still the same, bright yellow in the morning and colourless after five pints...'

Quite the contary, it was delibratly called Wii so any language could understand what it meant.
I saw a slogan of the nintendo forums saying "Eat,sleep and Wii."

It wont be that bad.......Might ever be better that the PS3 at this rate.....

Well it is..... The best selling product. I mean pc is so much better than any console anyday, but wii is the best console
chosen by uk viewers you should have seen the line it went on for half an hour just to search through the people in fast motion.

Infact i got a wii for myself its pretty useful handy and cool still don't like the name that much though.
