FT.com / By industry / Media & internet - Nintendo names new console ‘Wii’

Nintendo logoNintendo shocked the video games industry on Thursday with the name for its next-generation console, changing it from the codename Revolution to the official launch name of Wii.

i love nintendo, but i think wii is a stupid name for a console.. although im starting to get more comfortable with it as the hours pass (i thought it was just plain wiitarded before.. god im so clever).

I have it from a reliable source at Nintendo that this name is 100% the fault of the marketing department. Excuse me while I go take a leak. What? You thought I was going to say “Wii”…didn’t you? Well, you can thank Nintendo in advance for making Wii owners the butt of countless jokes like that now too.
