Nintendo’s conference is this morning – and this news is about a week old – but worth mentioning. The big N recently announced a name change for its new system (due this fall). The console formerly known as Revolution has been renamed Wii. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover! What’s in a name? I guess those truisms hold water, but Wii just doesn’t do it for me. Revolution sounds like a console – something guaranteed to mix it up and prompt change. Wii puts me in the market for some mineral water. Wii’ll see what they show today.
I’m already starting to see geeks using “Wii” regularly on forums, and I have to agree, it looks ridiculous. A terrible name for a game system.
