Help
It's official, the name for Nintendo's new home console is Wii. It's spoken as 'we'.
The explanation is weird and all, but I like it. :lol:
Look here.
Wii Revolution? No, Wii

I just can't help but picture an owl with "WII!!!" in big letters at the bottom of said picture.

While I wait for the page to load, I've got two words: "Good" and "lord".

Surely, surely, surely that's just gonna be the Japanese name only.

Nintendo piss on the competition!
Absolute genius. This new name, combined with the amazing software (I predict) that will be bundled with the machine should ensure Nintendo take an early lead in the next generation. This time next year PS3 will be trailing.

I knew they wouldn't use "RS", because it sounds like "arse". But then they called it "Wii", which sounds like "wee". I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK ANYMORE.

Nintendo really don't care about grown men like me walking into a game store and sounding like a twat do they?
First Gameboy and now I need to ask for a Wii - sigh

You have to be fucking kiding me....
"Nintendo pisses on the opposition"
Mind you, its not the first time a console has been named after a bodily function,
Only recently we had the Gizmondo, which was slang for "what a piece of fucking rotten badger shit"

Ok, so if you're passed the part where the page loads, you'll already be reading the splash explaining what the fuck they're thinking.
It's like reading a transcript of that Zeitgeist segment on Brass Eye, where Morris repeatedly asks Claire Rayner whether she'd "beat off" a would-be attacker if they approached her - only this is marginally less funny since I'll be one of the stupid fuckers "queueing for a Wii" come launch.

My inner fanboy totally loves that name, for some reason - despite the playground connotations that write themselves. Nice site too.
