what would you call it? I've just gotten used to calling it "Wii" instead of "Revolution" myself, but I still question their name choice just a bit. Sure, it makes sense now, but when I first heard it my jaw nearly hit the floor. If you had the opportunity to name the system, what would you name it?

I'm not sure myself, I think I need to think a bit more. Maybe this naming thing is harder than we think!

I would have preferred for them to stick with "Revolution". You know, the name change may have been a wise thing. At least everybody is talking about it, despite what their personal feelings may be! LOL!

From what I've heard, it seems that even the bigwigs took time to accept Wii as the final name; their concern was that Revolution didn't appeal to all ages...apparently...

I thought I liked the revolution at first, but I came to realize it was too generic. Wii is funny, and can be poked fun at, but is memorable and makes people think.

Although the Wii Wii would be good too.

I, as well, would have preferred for them to stick to the Revolution too.

Wii is a unique and easy to remember name
And anyway, it's just a name :P It's not going to make the console and worse/better!

I can't help but think that the name change was at least partially a publicity stunt. So, if it's wireless...will they call that feature Wii-Wi? *giggles*

Well it doesn't have any puns in Japanese or most of the other languages...still a weird move, but we'll get used.

Revolution is WAAAAAAAAY better than Wii. But... if you think a little, Wii is so genial.
