Yeah, they should probably stick with Revolution. I once thought it was pretty presumptous to call the console Revolution, but we have known the console as such for almost two years and it is so engrained into our psyche that even if Nintendo renamed it, people would still call it Revoltution.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I don't think that guy's opinion would have mattered had he not created Katamari. In fact, his opinion still doesn't matter.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The meaning of the name is not apparent. With Revolution as the name for the past two years, it was clear what Nintendo's intentions were. With Wii, they have to explain it. No one is going to look at the name and say "I know what Nintendo means. They are trying to emphasize that the console is meant for everyone and that the two i's symbolize the controllers. Clever one, Nintendo." Nintendo has to explain it to us, and they should never really have to.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah, totally unlike Microsoft's Xbox which. . . what? Does it even have a meaning?

Ok, no company should ever have ambiguous names for its consoles. Ever. You happy?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
