As on the Nintendo website:

Introducing... Wii.

As in "we."

While the code-name Revolution expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer. Wii will break down that wall that seperates videogame players from everybody else. Wii will put people more in touch with their games... and each other. But you're probably asking: What does the name mean?

Wii sounds like "we," which emphasizes the console is for everyone. Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.

Wii has a distinctive "ii" spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people playing it. And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of videogames that sets it apart from the crowd.

So that's Wii. But now Nintendo needs you. Because it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii. And together, Wii will change everything.

Wii?......WEE?! What the HELL is that! Revolution was a perfect name for a system! It's going to be REVOLUTIONARY, hence a great name...but Wii? GAAAAA!!!

Ok...that's out of my system...for now.

I bought myself a MP3 player the other day. MPIO 512Mb. It's pretty nice. I would have gone higher and more flashy, but we don't have the money and I had a $100 gift certificate, so it was like $20. I'm liking it, especially while working out. Beauty.

EDIT: A very well written article in the Defence of the name Wii for Nintendo. LINK After reading the page, I have come to terms with the name. Regardless of what Nintendo would haved called this system, I'm still want it, hands down!
