Nintendo's new name for the much-hyped Revolution console. Is pronounced "we".
According to Nintendo, Wii symbolizes togetherness, with its two i's resembling like people next to eachother. They claim it is a name that
will cross language barriers, and avoid abbreviation. They say it
will be remembered by consumers, and hope it
will become the next
iPod or Google.
Many gamers, however, are less than enthusiastic about the name change, once again saying "Nintendo is Doomed!" and making potty jokes. (Get it? Wee? Ahahaha).
Some say it's a hoax, some like the idea, some hate it. Will it succeed? Only time
will tell.
