After several years, it'll not be revolution anymore. Wii is easier to remember and pronounce although it sounds silly. Does the name iPod describe its function? No. How about Viiv?

It generates controversy. It's free publicity. Perhaps they can start a true revolution just as noisy as the iPod’s has been. It all starts with a name.

My only worry is games will be named -Wii. I mean Super Mario Wii would just not be right

It will be interesting to see if the ... wii (cringe) finally breaks into the adult market, something Nintendo has been trying to do for awhile now. This appears to be the most aggressive attempt yet, with the dropping of the Nintendo name from the console, the controller that looks like a remote, etc

umm.... They should have stuck with the Revolution

Although, when you think about it, "Playstation" is kind of a hokey name... and I still hate "XBox" as it just gives me flashbacks to the 90's (X-Treme and whatnot

)
