Only the ones that like flashy "ooh, shiny" things.

The sane, rational ones understand that the system is more than likely going to be a fantastic addition to the market.

Holy crap

My god that name is forking bad. They should have stayed with Revolution. How come the code names for Nintendo systems are always better then the final name?

However I still want the system it looks fun and Nintendo always makes good games well most of the time they do.

Nah, Vista isn't quite that lame(Wii is much worse to Me), But then outside of the Visa connotation I've not heard any jokes made from It, But Wii? Oh there should be plenty of mileage there, As It sounds like something from the 3 Little Pigs(As the pigs ran wee wee wee).

Ok. Had to get that off my chest. That has to actually be... the STUPIDEST name for a gaming console, since... umm... I can't even think of anything close to something that poorly named.

If they are serious about "Wii." Good Game to Nintendo.

lol.. good luck finding enough people willing to even begin to comprehend this quirkiness and make a profit. This is the beginning of the end for Nintendo.

Re: Hahahahahahhaha!!!

As I recall, the name Xbox didn't exactly go over like gangbusters at first either.

I'm happy to let them run with this. Nintendo is usually more than willing to put its money where its concept is, more so than anybody else oftentimes, and most of the time it's paid off. So let's see where Wii end up...

World War II

When I see "Wii," I think of World War II. This brings back memories of "Pacific Theater of Operations." I guess I am an old coot! Then again, sometimes when I see an old coot (myself excepted) I am reminded of pictures of ship captains on PTO. Where can I find a chapter of PTO Anonymous?
