Wii unique like 'Google,' says Nintendo
IGN did its best to make sense of yesterday's Nintendo Wii announcement by going right to the source, Nintendo. According to Nintendo of America's VP of corporate affairs, Perrin Kaplan, Wii is the next in a line of unique product/service names that includes, Google, Virgin Airlines, Amazon, and Napster. But Wii surpasses these beloved names because it operates on multiple levels. "It looks like two people with heads who can play," says Kaplan. That's odd, to us it just looks like Nintendo doubled the letter i.
While Kaplan successfully dodged questions about Wii's inherent phallic connotation, she did have a few words for the haters: "Live with it, sleep with it, eat with it, move along with it..." And to that we add, just wiigle with it!
