OMFG! This is the most creative console name. It makes everything else seem so unfriendly. I definitely see good things happening with this name. I am screaming!

The logo is simple and attractive.

The Wii puns will never end now.

Though an odd name choice, the western world could use something a little less...cutesy?

shamelessly stolen from neogaf


Denile! What?? Wii??? No way! It has to be fake!

Anger: Stupid ****ing nintendo! The urine and dick jokes are never going to stop!

Bargaining: OK... Let the name be Wii in Japan, but please change it for the US and Europe?

Depression: It's the end of Nintendo. they're just sabotaging themselves.

Acceptance: Maybe it's not so bad, we'll get used to it.

No I meant syllable wise. Weeeeee

On a serious note, I think it's a good idea what they've done with the name, and the logo. I mean it will question a lot of peoples curiosity why it's called "Wii" and the logo / marketing I'm sure will revolve around the controller and human interaction.

Unusual name (intending to be "We" for everybody) combined with a logo and marketing campaign that will showcase the revolutionary side of the console should sit well with the public I imagine.

"So that's Wii. But now Nintendo needs you. Because, it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii. And together, Wii will change everything."

Is this a joke?
