Yep, Nintendo has officially named their nex-generation games console, and it probably wins the prize for the silliest name ever ...

Nintendo today announced the new name of their next-generation console, previously codenamed “Revolution”.

The new name is “Wii” pronounced like the word ‘wee’.

Oh dear. Someone’s been reading the book “how to induce bankruptcy for dummies”.

I really can’t see buyers walking into the shop asking for a “wee”.  rolleyes

OK BM, that response would have made milk shoot out my nose if I were drinking any.

It’s definitely the silliest name I’ve heard of in a while ... hopefully that only gets used in Japan and the rest of the world changes it to something sensible.

The next Gameboy will probably be called “poo”. Then shop owners will have to ring up Nintendo asking for a new shipment of “poos and wees”.  wink

Hey Buzz now that the Wii is actually coming out and people are lining up days ahead of it what do think of the name now. I personally think that the name “Wii” is awesome. I am sure going to get as soon as possible.

I think that Wii is a great name for the console. It is a revolutionary name for a revolutionary console. I think the spelling really has something to do with it. If Nintendo had spelled it Wee or We then I would agree that it was a terrible name.
