I don't like it quite as much as I did Revolution, but it's not bad....

Oh yeah and think about it a bit. It sounds bad at first, but once you get used to it and what they are trying to say by it it makes more sense.

You are speaking of Red Steel. Yeah like I say I like Rev. better, but the idea behind the name is kinda neat.

Honestly I didn't think of an insult when I read it. I know there is one, but I had to go to the IGN boards to even have it come up. Did you check out the meaning for the name?

And either way it's going to be an awesome system.

The "ii" is also about the console encouraging multiplayer and it having Wi-Fi.
Here is how the controller works:

Here is a good look at it:

Everyone that can get to IGN should check out the trailer and logo.
Wii is name. Let me quote it for you:
The Big N explained the decision behind the name in a statement, which we've provided below:

Introducing... Wii.

As in "we."

While the code-name Revolution expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer. Wii will break down that wall that seperates videogame players from everybody else. Wii will put people more in touch with their games... and each other. But you're probably asking: What does the name mean?

Wii sounds like "we," which emphasizes the console is for everyone. Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.

Wii has a distinctive "ii" spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people playing it. And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of videogames that sets it apart from the crowd.

So that's Wii. But now Nintendo needs you. Because it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii. And together, Wii will change everything.

Omg I know I went to gamefaqs to look at the poll and it said that Revolution name is changing into Wii. So much stupidity of changing the name. If I like buy the system and ask that I could get a Revolution from the guy at the counter he would probably say no thats Wii. What an idiot. I would know because I run into idiots more than anything else. I think I got dumber for reading that article on Revolution.

You just don't understand what the controller does I don't think. Check the article out. Plus there is going to be a shell so you can play some games with a traditional controller. Imagine Halo or any other FPS with that controller.

Is Xbox a word? No. What's Playstation a compound word. The Xbox fanboys went nuts when the official name was Xbox 360 because they became so attached to Xenon.

And I'll say it again, from a marketing standpoint Wii is the better choice. It's short, simple, and to the point. Most consumers don't know nearly as much about videogames as any of us. If you keep it something simple then it has more chance to catch on. Look at iPod, Google, Yahoo, etc. They probably all sounded totally stupid when first thought up, but now who doesn't know what they are. If Wii is marketed right then it could be a huge hit. Nintendo has gotten better with it's image lately.

Oh and who is the one that is brainwashed here? The one accepting the new name or the one clinging to a code name?

Shouldn't you at least think about the name for a few days before you go and say Nintendo is going the way of Sega?

And the public wouldn't get what Revolution meant so there isn't really a difference to the general public.

It wouldn't matter if I did think about the name for a couple of days the name still would be ignorant or pointless. This makes no sence because Revolution means something and Wii doesn't really mean anything. Its too bad I had a good argument to say that Revolution is alot better than Wii.

Again, what does Google actually mean? Yahoo? Xbox? Playstation?

Wii is actually quite a smart name.
