"How much is the Play-station-Three"?
"How much is the X-Box-Three-Sixty"?
"How much is the Wii?"

1. PS3
2. 360
3. wee



They all seem pretty short and simple to me.

The Wii puns will never end now.

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

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.

My brain keeps sticking an 'f' or 'k' between those i's. :/

"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?

honestly i dont know where everyone is getting it's a simpler name then 360 or PS3. besides, sony's franchise was built on the name Playstation... and thats friendly in itself. Just like movies going by sequels and numbers it signifies a newer generation/version. Please don't bag on other system names just because Wii is pissing you off

Wii is alright I guess, I mean, people will probably just grow out of it and call is Rev anyway since it's been revolution for such a long time.

I honestly thought it was the hugest typographical error and Nintendo was naming their console after Wifi....
