New Nintendo home console previously codenamed Revolution.

The Big N explained the decision behind the name in a statement:

Introducing... Wii.

As in "we."

While the code-name Revolution expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer. Wii will break down that wall that seperates videogame players from everybody else. Wii will put people more in touch with their games... and each other. But you're probably asking: What does the name mean?

Wii sounds like "we," which emphasizes the console is for everyone. Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.

Wii has a distinctive "ii" spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people playing it. And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of videogames that sets it apart from the crowd.

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.

Nintendo's awesome console, which is the successor to the GameCube, that was somewhat unfortunately named Wii, which replaced its original codename 'Revolution'. But you'll get used to it.

Lets play some Wii!
I hope my mom doesn't catch me playing with my Wii.
And this little piggy went "Wii, Wii, Wii," all the way home!
One of the dumbest names ever given to a videogame console. Way to go Nintendo.
Mom: "Michael, what are you doing in there?"
Kid: "Letting uncle Tommy play with my Wii."
