Well, 2 is pronounced "ni" in Japanese.

So.. Wiini. I love it.

Oh my, so the next awesome Nintendo controller could be... A SHRUBBERY!!!


How did it take me a whole 10 seconds to get that reference?

I need to watch the film again!

Hard to guess, it'll be something we probably can't predict.  But their logic behind the name Wii was that they wanted it to represent people connecting and getting together it's meant to sound like the word 'We' and NES/SNES were called Famicom and Super Famicom in japan as a shortening for Family Computer, so I'm guessing it'll be something along those lines.   The Nintendo Unus (source words Unite and us) is my best guess.

There would be endless jokes (even worst than Wii jokes) if Nintendo named their new console Unus.


That didn't stop them before!

I'm thinking it'll be called WII, as in a fusion of the name Wii and and the Roman Numeral for "2"... Just watch me be wrong as always, though...

Nintendo will think of a name that is catchy, short, and easy to remember. It's really hard to guess

That's great! Thumbs up.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

I actually thought it could be that name myself instead of number 2.  They just throw Too instead of 2 at end and it can have a double meaning.  It seems original but not too sure it is name that can stick (although most people laughed at the name Wii when it was announced).

I would say the next home console system will be very health oriented, much more than the current Wii in any case.

The vitality sensor will come with it, and could play a major role in the gaming system.

I vote for Vii (like nintendo Viitality or something)
