I hope for Nintendo's sake that this is just a very sick joke on their part and while this won't stop me from buying a REVOLUTION... it is another stupid move by Nintendo which I DO NOT agree with at all.
I would also like to say that any ill comments about Nintendo's "brilliant" naming strategy is fine by me, so fire away!
Obviously Nintendo was trying to pull an Apple with this name... with the double i... but that's the thing, Ipod has the i in front a "eye-pod" yeah sure the whole i thing is in these days... but not in the way it's being used. When spelling it, Wii looks okay... but when SAYING it... then you have some big problems...
"Hey wanna come over to my place and play Wii?"
"Man, Wii is so damn cool!"
"My mom bought me Wii for my birthday!"
"Cool! You've got a Wii!"
... Well Nintendo... Wii think the name SUCKS.
When I refer to Nintendo's next gen console, I will be calling it what I always have: Revolution... NRV for short.
