Without a doubt the worst bit of naming I've ever seen. On any product ever.
As much as I thought "Revolution" was a bad name (too cocky by half), "Wii" just seems shocking to me (a London born English speaker). Maybe it sounds col to a Japanese female in her late teens, but I don't like it at all.
The fact that none of us are sure how to pronounce it is proof positive that it is a bad name. "double yoo double eye". Lolcopter.
I just feel sorry for all the websites and magazines that have done thier bit to build up the "Revolution" brand. All that is out the window now.

Or can't writers have opinions?
Anyway, I'll still be buying it. Awful, awful name though.

I'm surprised they didn't stick with Revolution because quite a lot of people already know what it is and have association with it and for other people at least its a real word

Ultra 64 was the name for Europe, but Nintendo scrapped it because "nobody was calling it the Nintendo Ultra 64, just the Ultra 64" and nintendo like to be in the name of the project somehow, they even sent a letter to magazines asking them to call it the NU64 rather than the U64 but again - nobody listened.
It might be the same with this, Wii is a piss poor name (hahahahaha! - ahem) and i can imagine many people just sticking with 'the rev'.
