Although, the codename before "Revolution" was "On". So, it would be the "Nintendo On".
The console for this name was just a concept and it was WAAAAAY too high tech for it to be possible. Let's just say it was pretty much virtual reality.
Now, back to the topic: "Nintendo Wii" ? LOL
This siggy is CGI that my cousin made in 4 hours.
Wii .....
what is this!?
Quite possibly the biggest blunder in videogame history. Even tops the Atari 2600 E.T. fiasco.
Worst. Name. Ever.
I don't know about you guys, but I am really looking forward to coming home at night after a hard days work. Taking off my shoes, playing with my Wii... All night long... I'll even invite some friends over to play with my Wii... ahhh yeah, I'll be getting into my Wii with both hands. Really jerking that Wii's stick around.. mmmhmmmm
That being said
I disapprove of the name and will continue calling it the revolution.
To be honest, I think EVERYONE will keep calling the system the revolution and no one will use the name "Wii". Nintendo will most likely take the hint and if they are smart they will swallow their pride and change the name back.

Recently the kids I TA for in the highschool talk about nintendo going downhill. I heard this one kid say
"If nintendo screws up with this console, they're going to just start making games for the better consoles cause they're losing too much money."
I just wanted to smack him.
Nintendo has enough money to last basically forever, even though WE US/CA and Europe are not big fans of Nintendo, go to Japan and talk crap about it.
Nintendo has made some bad choices in all but look at the stuff they make, even though the Gamecube doesn't have the games. I'm very impressed that, that small little box can hold almost the same or even more power than an xbox or ps2.
They still own the market in handhelds don't forget about that, Sony tried stealing that away with their fancy buggy @$$ psp. The thing is...., it may be more powerful but nobody really knows about it let me explain.
I am in a huge family, consisting of 10 aunts and 9 uncles, and I have 26 cousins. What's my point? Hold on...
They are from the ages of 4-16, every year we all meet up in one area for a campout during the summer. Each one of my cousins has a handheld console, each one.
Last year, every cousin of mine brought a gameboy advance, this recent summer three had the new DS and the rest was still on advance, now for Christmas, each one of my cousins got a DS; except for one he got a PsP.
See what I'm saying? PsP may be more powerful but when adult non gamers think of handheld consoles they think straight to Nintendo because they made a name for themselves sooner than sony.
Nintendo will continue to gallop along side with us till we die folks, their decisions are rarely bad ones.

...please tell me this is a leftover April Fool's joke. I'd rather blunder into my local game store and ask "I would like to preorder a Project Reality" than ask for this. Wii? It's like this console is just too hip to have an ordinary name. Can't they call it some abbreviation, like just...N. Think about it. N. Eh? N!
So the big consoles will be the Xbox, PS3, and the.....Wii? Wha? No, Wii.
To hell with it, I give up on console gaming. It's Us vs. Wii.
dont you think becoming a slaving fanboi is a little bit below you?
imagine this.
nintendo shifts to game development
miyamoto goes back to making games, what he's good at
nintendo gets to sell games to a huge audience.
we have to buy one less crappy console to play nintendo games
more time and effort goes into nintendo games
nintendo games get better
whats wrong with that?
--people who believe in abstinence are unsurprisingly also some of the ugliest most sexually undesired people in the world.--
thats pretty faulty logic there.
nintendo has the handheld market.
nintendo does not have the console market.
nintendo makes great games
nintendo has no 3rd party support
revolution will get even less 3rd party support
people with multiple consoles are opting to buy ps2 or xbox title rather than the gc port according to game sales.
intendo loses money on it's consoles
nintendo makes money on it's games
nintendo makes money on it's handhelds.
i dont think you'll disagree with those last ones.
the goal of a company is to make money, and nintendo is stifling both it's earning capacity and creativity by plugging away at the console market.
I
love
nintendo.
why not release their games to a wider audience so more people can love them?
nintendos
consoles suck.
why not stop making them so they can make more profit off games?
nintendos
handhelds

why not do what all other humans and successful businesses do? stick with what they do well.
look at the ipod. it makes hugemoney, and it's just one product?

man that was one of the funniest posts here in a long long time......
but that name is bad and you proved how it can be twisted like that into nothing more then a joke.
which sadly at this point might resemble the revolutions library.....

"Wii" what a ****ing stupid ass name for a console Revolution sounded way better
If it ain't broke, don't fix it...
In several press releases, interviews, road shows, annoucements, whatever, Nintendo has stated they have alot of 3rd party support this time around, and their is even a detailed list of companies that signed on with Nintendo the very second the rev controler was revealed, its an older news topic on Gamespot, and im sure other sites, and im also sure the list has grown since then.
Judging a console by its name is like judging a book by its cover, or a game by its graphics.

Wii is indeed the worst name ever chosen for a console. We've done nothing but joke about it all week at work.... "would you like to come play with my wii? (prenounced wee)", "hey mark, hows your wii lately?", "you smell of wii! (if somebody smells of ... well plasticy stuff)", "your wii is awesome, i wanna have a wii too".........
why god WHY would they name it such a thing?!
To me, Wii sound just like Why!
WHY! That would be the last name I would give to my product.
I find this funny however...why wii?

Wii is going to have some hot competition from that new French console, Oui.
So when the current round of next generation consoles become dated, and developers are making new, even more powerful consoles, what will Nintendo call theirs? Wii squared? Perhaps Wii Wii? Wii3?
I can't think of any more stupid jokes. This is the most horrible console name ever devised. ColecoVision sounds cutting edge next to it. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go play my Lynx while my brother hogs the CD-i.
3DO pwnz Wii.
