Its east to refer to it as "the revolution", saying "the we" just sounds bad.]]>Apr 27th 2006 12:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/27/nintendo-wii-the-revolution-gets-a-real-name/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/27/nintendo-wii-the-revolution-gets-a-real-name/
Revolution sounds so much better.
Do you hear that Nintendo????

I thought the link was a bogus site so I went to nintendo.com. Sure enough. Their next console is named after a bodily function.

Now Nintendo we get Wii, which to me is Wi as in Wi-Fi. Nope it's wee as in 'eh wee lassie' or 'I need a wee' or simply 'weeeeeeeeeeee!'

Why is the marketing department beginning to dictate our English? We should have brand idol, which name gets the boot or not as Wii sounds craptacular. I preferred Revolution or Nintendo RS to go with the DS theme.]]>Apr 27th 2006 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/27/nintendo-wii-the-revolution-gets-a-real-name/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/27/nintendo-wii-the-revolution-gets-a-real-name/Apr 27th 2006 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/27/nintendo-wii-the-revolution-gets-a-real-name/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/27/nintendo-wii-the-revolution-gets-a-real-name/Apr 27th 2006 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/27/nintendo-wii-the-revolution-gets-a-real-name/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/27/nintendo-wii-the-revolution-gets-a-real-name/

Maybe they thought the "Revolution" name was too grandiose, but it sounds much better than "Wii".]]>Apr 27th 2006 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/27/nintendo-wii-the-revolution-gets-a-real-name/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/27/nintendo-wii-the-revolution-gets-a-real-name/Apr 27th 2006 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/27/nintendo-wii-the-revolution-gets-a-real-name/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/27/nintendo-wii-the-revolution-gets-a-real-name/Sorry for riding your comment, but why is this still on the 'Game Changer' thingy on the main page?]]>Aug 6th 2010 8:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/04/27/nintendo-wii-the-revolution-gets-a-real-name/http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/27/nintendo-wii-the-revolution-gets-a-real-name/
