Revolution has a new name! Wii

A nintendo freak on my right is saying it's a really great name.

"It is, and I'm not a Nintendo freak, I'm a Sega freak".

Sadly enough, though, it looks like I'll have to either live with that name in my living room, or pony up the cash for the PS3.

EDIT: I HATE INTELLITXT

hopeless would be a better name.

Yeah, everyone I seem to talk to feels the same about the name. It's pretty terrible if you ask me, I don't know what they were thinking.

Very interesting argument. I suppose everyone can suggest 'what's in a name, anyway' and be celebrated as correct. In the end however, Wii sales won't be based on the name of the system, but primarily other components such as graphics, sound, etc. Time will tell the story of both Wii, and it's code name: Revolution. Cheers on that find, acedriver, good read.

i is the new X in marketing these days. Instead of Xtreme or Xtra, we've been seeing iPod, iPaq, TiVo, Viiv, and now Wii.

I'm just waiting to experience new way of playing console game. Instead of pushing the button, we can swing it for golf/tennis.

OT : Sorry, but it's a necessary fact of free websites that survive on advertising.

True, and personally, i'd rather have to deal with ads(and I don't mind clicking them a few times to help out) than to be committed to paying each month like the rest of my bills.
