    While the code-name Revolution expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer. Wii will break down that wall that seperates videogame players from everybody else. Wii will put people more in touch with their games... and each other. But you're probably asking: What does the name mean?
    Wii sounds like "we," which emphasizes the console is for everyone. Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.
    Wii has a distinctive "ii" spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people playing it. And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of videogames that sets it apart from the crowd.
    So that's Wii. But now Nintendo needs you. Because it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii. And together, Wii will change everything.
ok, well i really dont understand any of that, someone care to explain it to me

this is the japanese's fault!

lol nice wordplay there..
u guys should look at the Wii trailer on ign, makes it look slightly less pathetic, mainly cuz theres alot of white

and they thought it would be cool to make a name like "ipod" or other things like that, on the ign forums there have been a shitload of people saying how dissatisfied they are with the name but nintendo insists it will seem good later on..

I dunno, I don't mind the name "Wii" - if you really hate it that much just put a piece of tape over your system and write down Nintendo Rev on it, and then call it a Rev; heh. The gaming on the system is more important than a name given to it, at least thats how I see it.

I wouldn't want a system called "I **** 400 LB TRANNYS AND I CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP AT NIGHT BECAUSE I HAVE NO GIRLFRIEND". Of course that will never happen, but nevertheless name can matter in some situations.
