Nintendo Revolution gets its Revolutionary name!

The new Nintendo console will be called the Nintendo Wii. And fans are not to best pleased.. With jokes already circulating around the net "I'd rather have a Wii than a PS3" just being one of them.

But why choose such an unpopular name and will be all turn out loving this "interesting" name ?

What a Nintendo representative (Perrin Kaplan) had to say:

"You know, I thought it was a neat name, too, but it's not as fitting for what we're trying to do. You think about Google being an unusual name. You think about Virgin Airlines. Amazon. Napster. All those. I think it's as unique as those. They aren't just unique, but loved names for places that we all know. And I think this is more fitting and the two Is work on a bunch of different levels. It looks like two people with heads who can play, which is the inclusive nature of everybody. It looks like the controllers. So for us it looked like a couple of different levels."
