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.)

WAIT. I'm not finished.

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.
