Comment Worst. Name. Ever. (Score 1) 966
Why did they have to go and rename it? This has to be one of the strangest console names I've heard of.
Nintendo "Wii" will find it difficult to be taken seriously as a game machine for the masses when the console's name looks like you're asking a question (though I know that's not how you're supposed to pronounce it). "Revolution" was a much more fitting title for the device they hoped to "revolutionize" gaming with and it had decent mindshare as well.
But then again, who would have thought that "Playstation" would be an extremely successful videogame console when the name sounds a bit like it could be an Fisher-Price toy. If the games are there, the name shouldn't matter much.
