No way Revolution was a great name this is just well crap no beyond crap.

Nintendo should have known how crap it would sound in English and that people are just going to take the piss out of it. (pun intended )

Quote from: DeltaZeroCould it be said Whhhiiiiiy (saying the i as an eye rather than an eee sound) - like it just had one i - The Wi - maybe?

I think that would make it the WHY? and thats what most of us are thinking...

Apparently it was decided on by a committee within Nintendo.  Not an external marketing company.

You know what they say about things made by Committee?  It seems it applies to names as well.

Yeah, just without the h sound.

I cannot wait for this machine! whens it due out in the UK?

They should have left it as Revolution in the English speaking countries like when they renamed the Famicom to just NES.

Get two, stick them in front of a needy(loo wise kid)

Film the kid saying Wii Wii

What on earth are they thinking?
