| I kinda voted Wii before thinking it through, but now I'm standing by my decision. Sure, Revolution sounds stronger and more "mature," but Wii has a lot of meaning to it too with the whole "we" thing. Although maybe they should have spelled it "We" since personally the spelling of Wii seems...odd to me. Besides, eventually we'll just get used to the name anyway. I thought too hard and the "Super Nintendo" sounded like the Nintendo's superpowered crime-fighting alternate personality. But we're all used to that name so we don't really think that way. | |||

| That's because the majority of the votes were just after the wii name was announced and everyone thought it was stupid, and multivoting was disabled. | |||

| Yeah, I'm willing to bed that, had this thread been made now, it would be largely in favor of Wii. Everybody's warmed up to it now. | |||

| I used to hate the name, but now it's kinda grown on me, to the point that I'd probably be disappointed if Nintendo changes the name back to Revolution.
Because no matter what it's called, Wii will own PS3._¬ |

| Yeah... I don't care at this point. Wii or Revolution, it's the same system, and wii isn't as bad as I originally made it out to be.
I'm indifferent anymore, I just want the system.  |

| revolution sounds better but wii has that thing that may make you go WTF? I think nintendo should stick with revolution for the U.S. because Americans are quite close-minded from a marketing standpoint... | |||

None of my IRL friends hate the name Wii, so there you go. |

I like the name wii...but because it is so childish sounding, I don't think it is going to attract the people Nintendo wants to attract. Americans are all for power, mighty things and stuff like that. wii just doesn't provide that image 
on a side note, I've abandoned most american entertainment (except movies) a long time ago... |

Dude, lame sentiment. The American public is just as stupid as any other public. Canada, Morocco, Korea, you name it. The Wii is going to stop it from selling or negatively impact it at all. |

| I said the name was childish, not the look of the console. I don't have any gripes about the look of the console or the revolutionary way Nintendo is going to attract those who have found video games hard to play. | |||

I found this neat little picture that may give you cause to wonder at just how terrible a "childish" console is. Grey that is a awesome picture. Heh I bet half the people will not prenounce it "we" I think they will prenounce it "whyy". I like the name it's different, its unique, and it does not keep the begining of the older system. |

Why? Two same vowels together kinda assume a "long vowel" sound, in which case ii = as in we, or the Japanese vowel i (い . Though, I guess knowing short/long vowels requires over-average English education (I think.). It is taught in primary/elementary schools but how many people do you know actually bother to retain that kind of usually looked at as useless knowledge. |

| I do not know if I posted before... but I stand by my initial decision.
No matter how many arguments you throw at me, "Wii" sucks. Just face it. Without the explanation behind it, "Wii" stands as worst name ever for a console. "Revolution" may not have the same meaning behind it but at least, you can pronounce it without laughing. Yes, my post is harsh but facts are facts. When you need to explain a console's name to stop people from laughing, you have a problem. Have a nice day people. |

Then you should find some more mature friends. 
Wii isn't that bad, it's supposed to be like "we." Even the nintendo site said that. |
