i'm waiting more for this system than anything else, and even i think wii is a dumb name. i really don't see the name keeping it from selling though. (google? yahoo? ebay? those are stupid names too, but nobody even thinks about it now.)

You sounds like a Nintendo rep saying that... that's practically verbatim what one of 'em was saying. No, the name doesn't really matter. But they had a pretty cool name and then switched it to something retarded. Maybe their whole idea is just to generated more buzz for the new console. -------------------- |

current rumor has it that nintendo's trying to pull something with this one...
some sources are saying that "Nintendo Wii" isn't even trademarked, not something a giant like nintendo would slip on. either way, they've gotten more press for this shit then they ever could have bought, and they'll only get more if they decide to pull an "LOL U GOTZ PWND!" on us and reveal the real name at E3 -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

Just did a search through the US trademark database and they're right. To be fair, though, Nintendo Revolution isn't trademarked either... maybe because it was just a codename? Nothing unannounced is trademarked either, though. Hrm.... Well, some people say that there's no such thing as bad publicity. Maybe that's what Nintendo is trying to bank on... -------------------- |

A) there'll be tons more talk about nintendo, just what they wanted  people will still buy it anyways, just what ninetendo wantedC) they can approach it with the "WE LISTEN 2 TEH FANZ!" angle and make all the fanbois feel all warm and fuzzy inside, bringing us back to point B. it's more or less win-win for nintendo. -------------------- WAIT.
