I think wii generated more hype, hows it spelled, what's it meen, are you sure it's spelled like thta. That's all I heard when I first heard of it and started talking about it. If it had been revolution it would have just been another name.

Although Wii may have not been the best choice for a console name, I have to admit that it remains a far better choice than Revolution. I mean, sure, the Wii uses motion sensitive controls in many of its games, which makes it original and intuitive, but going so far as to say that Nintendo's seventh generation console is a revolution is a bit of a stretch; honestly, it's much more of an evolution than anything (not to say that I don't love my Wii). And plus, if it wasn't for its current name, what would have happened to all the puns? I think Nintendo did a bang up job with its marketing campaign, of which was only achievable because of its name. Wii > Revolution, hands down.

wii! wat kind of name is revolution

'Revolution' comes from the Latin word "revolvere" meaning 'roll back'. That means they're taking an old idea and revolve it.The old idea was the power glove. The revolution should be the Wii mote. Well it would be called Revolution mote.I like the idea Wii better. Revolution sounds too serious and seems like only nintendo Veterans can have one.Also you would have to make up a short form like "Revo" or something. Would somehow suck

I like revolution because it sounds kinda cooler IMO. Also it sounds like nintendo is actually trying to make something new, over-the-top and they did so i guess it was a better code name then a console name.

I really dont care about the name. People said "its dumb" but i think its fine. I really wouldnt care even if they called it Revolution either. Names of the systems dont affect it that much... look at playstation and xbox. they couldve called it almost anything and i would be ok with it.

You have to look hard to find a name worse than wii. Even an unoriginal name like Revolution would have been superior.Besides revolution has a ring of awesome to it :kiki:

Everyone is already used to the name Wii and so Revolution doesn't really give a ring. But if they started with Revolution it would have been a bit better I guess.

They should have stuck with Revolution. It better fit what they intended and expected the console to be, which was a revolution. I don't even remember what "Wii" is supposed to mean, so it has no significance as far as I'm concerned. However, I have managed to warm up to the name Wii.

The Nintendo Revolution sounds a lot cooler than 'Wii'. Wii sounds... rude.
