Revolution's New name Revealed

[Teuthida]

Wii sound similar to "yes" in French, "how" in German, "good" in Japanese and "top" in Korean

and "urine" in English

So I guess it's just us English speakers who hate it?

If there's such a thing as a trendy urinal I want to pee in it.

IT would have a strobe light, and funky mirrors and a disco ball and music.

From a retailer's point of view, I have to say the name DOES endanger sales. I can't imagine the pain in the neck it will be to explain how to pronounce "Wii" to parents buying a console, and the sheer confusion in saying things like "Do we have any more Wiis?" and "Nintendo is shipping 30 Wiis to our store next week."

Also, the parents will be inundated with "I wanna Wii! Mommy, I wanna Wii!" and they'll have to have the whole thing explained- No, your kid's not asking to use the bathroom. They're actually begging for a new video game system.

And think of the names of games. If there was Castlevania, Super Castlevania, Castlevania 64, and Castlevania DS, then we're sure to get "Castlevania Wii" along with "Mario Wii" and "Super Smash Bros. Wii"

Pardon the double post, but:

IGN did an interview with Nintendo:

IGN Wii: We're now called IGN Wii. How could you do this to us?
