I have to admit that I was liking the direction Nintendo was taking but I have to admit I'm not a fan of the name.

The comments section on the story over at Eurogamer has become a 200+ wordplayfest lol. Some choice comments:
'Hello mr games store owner, can I have a wii please?'
'No, the bathroom is for staff only'
'I think I'll have a Wii in my lounge.'
'I'm surprised the Wii name didn't get leaked.'
'I laughed so hard a little bit of wii came out'
'Wii is puu'
'you never know it might **** all over the competition'

Supposedly these Wii's can connect to each other, does that mean 2 wii's makes a wiiwii?
Seriously what a dumb name, but in Japan this'll probably fit right in. No shot to the Japanese people or anything, it's just the vibe I get out of Japanese gaming culture.

Yep, no intent to buy Nintendo products. I think they are targeting the wrong audience.

You're not going to buy a game system that you were originally planning on because of its name? Wow... That's pretty crazy.
At any rate, "Wii" will be a household name just like Google and iPod by this time next year. You can count on that.

Yup, I had it all planned out. My mates would be like
'Hey coco, why you got a console that's for kids?' And I'd be like 'because it has an inovative control system and revolutionary, not to mention, original, game play.' And they'd be like 'meh, fair enough, but I like my hardware to be powerfull. We shall agree to disagree like gentlemen that we have each chosen a game system that suits us each best.' And I'd like. 'Why yes indeed sir.' And then we both part, still firends.
...
But now it would be my mates would be like 'Hey coco, why you got a console that's for kids?' And I'd be like 'because it has an inovative control system and revolutionary, not to mention, original, game play.' But now they'd say 'but it's got a name that sounds like what kids call urine.' And then I'd be like all :( And they'd be like 'hahahahaha' And I'd be spent hundreds of pounds to be humiliated like that and I just dont see it working out. So no, I'm not going to buy a console, and yes, its simply because It's got a ****ty name, and besides, I'm just going to wait for Sony or MS to rip of nintendo and build their own funky weird controlers as well. I fail to see how I loose.

Just wait until you see some game footage from E3. Supposidly there will be quite a few games playable. As for Sony or MS ripping off the controller, they would only do that if it turns out to be great (and sell well). If that's the case then you'll be missing out on some sweet games.
As for the name thing, I would have preferred the Nintendo GO or the N5... But, oh well.

Coudlnt give a toss about the name, tbh. Graphics dont make the game, name dont make the console, cover dont make the book.
And I wont go to other people's houses to play another console because I already have all of them at my place, in widescreen and 5.1 :)

"A wee what? A wee game for the wee laddie here?"
There's a book's worth of Wii jokes on Eurogamer now, some are pure genius.

Kid goes into games shop, all excited.
Kid: "Can I have a wii please mister"
Shopkeeper: "Erm, we don't have toilets here".
I mean, seriously- didn't anyone tell Nintendo that their new games console name is another name for taking a leak (at least in the UK). Or maybe they don't care

Should I be worried that when the news of the Wii hit my corp's public channel, the consequent deluge of wee jokes actuallly raised the tone? 
Stupid name change... what was so wrong with 'Revolution' eh?
