Miyamoto preferred Revolution, at first
Wii haters, you almost had support in the highest of places.
Legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto told CNN's Chris Morris that the Revolution name was "very appropriate to what we were doing ... but it is a name that was almost threatening to non-gamers." Miyamoto now, of course, accepts and endorses the name -- which he has known about since last year.
Miyamoto feels that Wii is "more friendly and inviting." At this point, after having played the system and grown accustomed to Wii, many on the Joystiq staff have come to accept the Wii-naming; the initial shock has worn off and we are all almost through the 12 steps of wii-covery. How many Joystiq readers have also come to terms with the name?
