Is Wii a fake name?

PR stunt what garbage. He's an amazing idea. "Any news will make people talk about something more than they did before because, they have something to actually talk about."

Everytime they make some bad decision the same idiots chalk it up to some genious that only nintendo understands. It's so terrible it has to be part of some super clever plan.

The name symbolizes the same half-witted thinking and "look we're different" approach that I've expected of Nintendo for the past few years now. I fully believe this to be the real name.

Also, think about what would appear more idiotic: Calling your new system Wii, or pretending to call your new system Wii to piss everyone off for a few weeks then reveal a name that only could be better than that one. "Lol, we was just kidding" Come on now.

I don't know about the name. Its definitely different, but I don;t know if its necessarily bad. I didn't like the name Xbox 360 at all, and it seems as if the name was a success anyway.

The only real problem I have with it is the spelling. The two i's kind of make me have to pee when I look at it.
