They're certainly going to capture the 60s+ incontient crowd at least that they were going for, if not the usual gangsta wannabe chavlite Sony mainstay.

it will lead to all sorts of hilarity when people go into a shop and ask for a "wii"
a very strange choice indeed. revolution was much better imoComment

OK, I'm coming out of shock now.
I like the vid alot with the comedy sounds and use of the two ' i i 's is great.
Nope, can't get passed that name...why do Nintendo insist on making it hard for me to feel normal playing their products??? This will not make my non gaming friends want to get involved beyond laughing their arses off.Comment

I'm still buying one.
I don't mind the name. People will get used to it in due course- remember the collective bewilderment at "Dreamcast" when it was first announced?
My only concern is Nintendo's lack of brand identity for their home consoles these days. Sony realise that the PlayStation name is instantly familiar with a lot of people and have worked accordingly to strengthen recognition of the brand (i.e. not ditching the name with each new console but updating it).
Wii is also a wee console, being smaller than the 360 or the PS3. It all fits!
I just hope it's wiigion fwii too. Er...Comment
