"I think that I will be calling it the Revolution when ever I decide to pick one up."
You wouldn't want them thinking you were silly, now would you? These people who will never see you again, who quite possibly own a Wii themselves. GOD FORBID IT. |
What a wiitarded name. I can live with it but I can't see this helping sales or Nintendo's image at all.
It sounds like a 3 in the morning decision by the marketing department. "Ah! I got it! Let's call it Wii. It makes perfect sense!" "Yeah! Yeah! Sure! Wii!" "Wiiiiiiiiiiiii?" "Wiiiiiiiiiiiii!" "Wiiiiiiiiiiiii?" "Wii." "Wiiiii." |

OMG WEEEEEEE!
http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/weeee.php I believe this is not spam, but very relevant to our discussion. |
I like how people who don't even video game are even talking about it. Whatever it is about "i" and "ii" it's working. A couple years down the road, awesome names of products will be "iii"...
Nintendo for the wiin. |
I really don't mind it... It's completely out of the ordinary, just as the system itself is. It fits the theme of the system well. Just like when I saw the controller, it took me a while to swallow it and absorb it, but I think I can adapt to it.

God the marketing of this is going to be horrid.
"Why have a weekday when you can a wiikday?" "Turn a regular weekend into a wiikend!" Guh. |

They probably aren't going to do that. People like you and me will get all that taken care of. :p Nintendo wiinners.
As for their department, they probably DID get a three-year old to come up with it. Even a 2 year-old can bug their parents for a Wii, and this ain't no urination. |

So far the whole using wii for the word "we" all the time doesn't give me much confidence that they won't.
|
nintendo, can't we just come to some sort of compromise and call it the Wiivolution?
|
No, that's horrid.
|
"God the marketing of this is going to be horrid."
This is a totally unfounded assumption. Just because thousands of morons on the internet are doing it doesn't mean Nintendo will resort to it. They've done quite the opposite, really. Have you seen the flash animation on the site? If that's any indication of what the commercials will be like, this will have an excellent ad campaign. |
I liked the commercial. But marketing is marketing whether it's advertisements or word of mouth. And the current buzz isn't all that positive.
|
People keep talking about the logo... what does it look like? At least Wii is a sexy looking box :p With a name like Wii, at least they have the publicity going. Whether it's good or bad.... any publicity is good publicity ;)

Speaking of marketing, I wonder if they'll say out loud "Nintendo Wii" during commercials for Wii games, cause that'd be awsome. |
Sure I can. Nintendo's the one who came up with such a horrible name that people can easily make fun of.

Pub is pub is right though. http://blog.sanemonkey.com/images/wii_logo.jpg Video gaming is all about FUN. Nintendo has done this. |
Wow that logo is actually kind of neat. A "w" with dots.
|
OMG is that an official logo?
|
Wii will change everything...
brilliant |
Don't think that's official.
Which is fine, because it's convoluted to the point I can't distinguish what the logo is. I like the slogan though. |
Oh man, YTMND is having a field day with this. Favorites:

This is the most unconventional console since Phantom. |
I'm not sure it's the official logo, but it's the one being talked about as you mentioned.
