The Wii?
Whee.
Why didn't they just call it the Nintendo 128 or the MNES--Mega Nintendo Entertainment System?
Or, while we're at it, NES R, NES SS, or NES Stars?

Hoo boy. Nintendo really set themselves up for a ton of jokes. Much like Namco did when they named Tekken... i still spout Tekken jokes to this day, no matter how unfunny they are...

I think the simple logo works for it though, has an Apple like simplicity to it which could work in their favour...

Just when I thought Nintendo was on their way to being a contender again.... I say to hell with contending if it means trying to please a fanbase who thinks the name is even in the top 10 list of stuff a console should have to be awesome. Now, there's an idea, Nintendo could've avoid naming it at all and see what it would be known as in the end. That said, "wii" sounds better than adding common advertising words like "super" "ultra" "revolution" and such to the title. No numbers either.

It's just a name. . . but it still sets itself up for massive jokes.
such as;
This new system probably has Snerds wanting to play with thier WiiNES.

Consider this: The name is so wierd and different that EVERYBODY is talking about it. The name is not to be underestimated.

I've given it thought for a few weeks, and I'm becoming rather accustomed to its unique panache. I do joke quite a bit about it, like, "Wanna come to my house later and play with my Wii?" or "Your Wii's out of commission? Here, take another Wii." ;D
