Introducing Nintendo Wii: Did You Get Yours?

[dgridley]

TM's aside, Nintendo released the official name for the next generation Nintendo games console: Wii (as in "we").

"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."

I only picked up one.... and even though there are still a few good ones out there.... I'll just sit on this one. Someone might want to develope it later when the system comes out.

This has to be the biggest response to a console announcement ever. Never have I seen people pick up so many related domains. That certainly can't be bad for the console.

Agreed. Wii is getting alot more publicity than Revolution was. I think it was a good thing for them to change the name to Wii.

Even Google Bot likes Wii, he came by the forum and pmed me saying " I like your Wii Wii"
Whether it was a practical joke or not...

Wii is really buzzin' all over ... big word-of-mouth on this odd name. Nintendo must be psyched.
