Ok, some of you might have heard about this already, but here goes.
Nintendo has announced an official name for their new console, originally codenamed the "revolution." It is supposed to ship as the "Wii" (pronounced We). This name is supposed to display the togetherness of console gaming and online console gaming, i.e. we.
Jokes about this name have been abundent on the internet since the announcement a couple of days ago, and there are also reports that Nintendo has not obtained a patent for this name either (which would mean that this is not an official name, and that a real name will be announced later).
Any thoughts, opinions, or jokes are welcome! :)
To tell you the truth, I am starting to warm up to this name, myself... it kinda has a cute ring to it, and is much more original than...ummmm... "Playstation 3," or "XBOX 360."
I just miss Sega, who gave us the best console names.... like "Saturn," "Genesis," "Master System," or one of my favorite consoles of all time, the "Dreamcast." We miss you, sega!
Bye'cha!
