Revolution is officially called...*drumroll*

[Acert93]

I wonder who took part in the focus groups on this one. Oy....

Wii did, don't you remember? Wii all did, right after Iwata gave us brownies with a bit of wiid in them!

 

[NANOTEC]

Why do I think that if Sony shipped a product called WII, NANOTEC would be slamming it big time?

Two words: Cognitive Dissonance. That's what the f*nb*ys are going through right now.

It seems you're very upset for one reason or another.

I read dozens - no probably hundreds - of comments by people saying they would be embarassed to go into a shop and buy a Wii, and nearly all of them sounded serious. I absolutely cannot fathom such a mindset. Are they really that unsure of their own character that they depend on their perception by their equally silly fellow sheep to create self-worth? I could understand that at least somewhat if they were all teenagers, but many appeared to be in their twenties or even older.

That's human beings for you. If they weren't that way there wouldn't be fashions and marketting would be a very different beast.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

Is Nintendo knocking the errrr wii-wii out of us for some free marketing? Wii is yet to be trademarked by Nintendo, possible viral marketing?

Well, it's not like anyone's going to be stealing that identity, is it?

I don't think this will be a bad name.

A reason to lack flaw is a reason to lack flow and a reason to lack flow is a reason to lack flaw.

Awesome, put a grinch on it and you can burn any opinion you disagree with in your metaphysical vagina. Nintendo am powning all.

For the record, I prefer Revolution. Nintendo might have just been worried that they would burn too many bridges with a name that ostentatious.

So is the "controller" going to be called Nintendo's "Wii-lly?"

 

[OVERLORD]

Someone @ Nintendo must have a dry sense of humour. Maybe Matt Groening (Simpsons) is their PR man now. UK distribution partner Koch Media! http://www.kochmedia.co.uk/history.html?rid=1672668768910722483287

So the Koch will be distributing the Wii? That sounds about right... Not only does the Nintendo console name denigrate itself, it has an adverse impact on their partners too.

Whatever next? Reggie Fils Ame replaced by Gary Glitter as Nintendo strategist! Now that would be Hardcore! Reggie 1st kicked some ass and now Gary will Wii on the competition.

I can already hear the screams in the playground.

The ad campaign can be plastered in toilets everywhere!

Wii all do it! Join us!

You can't make this stuff up.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

If gaming was more mainstream this stuff would be appearing on 'Have I Got News For You' for sure.

Just for the record, Koch is *not* pronounced cock

It really look like to much irony to me too.

In this case, or normally. As a Germanic name I've always known it pronounced that way, as in Koch and Pasteur's research on microbiology.

 

[ninzel]

Yes it does. Oh gawd...

Once you figure out how it's pronounced,but at first there's confusion. And I'm still saying Revolution.I've never seen Nintendo in the past,allow a codename to become so ingrained even using it on thier official sight. I have this little part of me(maybe my wii) that thinks this is part of a marketing strategy.

I was alluding to "Wii rolling off the tongue". More childish humour I'm afraid.
