Comment Wii - Japanese CAN pronunce this (Score 0, Redundant) 356

OK lets get the myth out of the way - Japanese CAN pronunce Wii the way you're supposed to. Yes although there is no specific "sound" to pronunce Wii in Japanese, but they can use the hiragana 'U' in combination with a small 'i' to make this sound. As strange as it may sound to us English speaking folks, the word 'virus' is pronunced as "Ui-rusu", which begins the same way as you would pronunce 'Wii' in Japanese. So lets stop saying Nintendo is shooting themselves in the foot with Wii cos "Japanese can't even pronunce it" - that's just not true.
