revolution was too hard for foreigners to say, especially asians. "Wii" is easy to pronounce in all languages!thetinman posted on Jul 17 2006 at 10:51 PM said:

If you felt compelled to answer with that joke, your wit has already blunted ages ago and is now only a stump. Sorry.nubie posted on Jul 18 2006 at 04:53 AM said:
On the whole naming issue:
Revolution sounded nice and neutral and was easy to accept. It's also easy to forget. Revolution? Revolution of what? It's a boring name! It strikes no one! Everyone's on about revolutions these days, and they're mostly false prophets. The new name, Wii, has made an enormous impact across the gaming world, so much of an impact that even people outside the scene have heard of it. Nobody gave a toddle when the gamers were all up in a hussy-fit about MS promoting the X360 on MTV. Wii is something else.
Also, and I've stated this numerous times in other situations and other places: Wii is a simple name. Easy to pronounce, easy to remember (And you made it even easier by complaining about it all the time) and it just sounds... non-threatening. It's very much in keeping with what Nintendo did in the eighties when they wanted to make the Family Computer less of an intrusive piece of kit that cluttered up a living room. They made it look like a toy so that parents would feel less "threatened". Revolution is a boring but also sort of aggressive name. Wii sounds silly and bouncy and fun.
If you hate the name so much, just call it the Nintendo.

I was having a go. Should have included a ^_^ but forgot.
However, I do stand by that any kind of a Wii joke is a bad joke.

Actually, the japanese don't have the letter "L" in their language so it would be: "revorution"gamefan999 posted on Jul 18 2006 at 05:06 AM said:

Genesis? Genesis of what? It's a boring name! It strikes no one! Everyone's on about geneses these days, and they're mostly false prophets.
EDIT: Sorry, I couldn't resist, at least it was cleverer than nubie's wii.

Hey, don't go talking about my Wii !!
As I was saying though, Genesis was only for the stupid American market and as such makes the joke fall flat.
My first "Genesis" was actually a MegaDrive, nothing anywhere on it said Genesis, just MegaDrive. I lucked out.

They had to call it the Genesis over here because Mega Drive was copyrighted aready. I believe it was a big SCSI disk array for servers.
