Nintendo Wii?!
Nintendo has changed the name of their new Revolution console to "Wii", pronounced like "we." Yeah. That's what I thought, too.
From the web site: "While the code-name 'Revolution' expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer. Wii will break down that wall that separates game players from everybody else. Wii will put people more in touch with their games...and each other."
I hope they really have a game plan for attracting new and casual gamers, because the coveted frat boy market won't be caught dead buying something called a "Wii." Not saying that they have to testosterone out with a name like "Xbox," but why couldn't they have just stuck with "Revolution"? I thought it had a nice ring to it.
