Nintendo Revolution Has A Name... 'Wii'

Wee! At long last, Nintendo has a final name for its next-gen console, which up until now was reffered to as "Revolution". As attested on the Revolution.Nintendo.com official website, from now on the console will be called "Wii". Easy to say, no complications, no abbreviations, numbers or other mumbo-jumbo. Having a pronunciation similar to the English "we", the new name suggests that Nintendo Wii is a console for everyone, accessible, social... heck, orgastic even! Especially that fancy controller, since without it there's not much left in terms of next-gen technology. Some more promotional talk about the change of image, as well as a suggestive Flash animation can be found on the above mentioned website. Wee!
