IGN got to talk with Perri Kaplin on the name. Here's the info:

Well, I'm still going to buy it when it comes out, even if they rename it to poop stick.
Revolution is a better name than Wii in my opinion

As said by someone else, Reggie should have marketed the name:

Interview with Reggie:

Interviewer; So, most people don't like the new name for the Revolution. What do you have to say about it?
Reggie: YOU WILL LIKE THE NAME OR I WILL RAPE YOU IN SEVERAL PLACES AND TAKE YOUR NAME!
Interviewer; Yes sir. Sorry sir.

Oh, and am I the only one that likes the name?

Strangely, the first thing that came to mind when I first saw that name was ...the Intel Viiv? Weird...maybe it's just the ii's in both of em...oh well.

Oh, and am I the only one that likes the name?

dont mean to be blunt, but yes. Sorry, but there's nothing to like about it whatsoever. it's completely and utterly random no matter what supposed reason they gave. Revolution was a hot name and very suiting. WTF is this?? Stupid fucking nintendo and the ghetto name.

I wasn't aware that Nintendo was inspired to use this name from densely-populated, low-income neighborhoods <_<

HAHAHAHAHA You guys are sick! :lol: :lol:
Yeah the name really sucks, I thought Nintendo wanted to lose their childish reputation and they give the revolution a name which can be said by a 1minute old baby <_< Nintendo is really dissapointing me this time.

They should call it the Wiignotus
