The name "Wii". Who else thinks it was beyond brilliant?

Actually, I guess with GameCube they wanted to get something like the PlayStation. Equally strange names.

Wii is good, simple and overall a great product name. Why people think it is more sexual than XboX, I dont know.

What does X stay for in the US?

 

The X makes everything X-X-XTREME!!

 

The Wii became a household name, almost detached from the nintendo brand even. It proves it's succes but it could also prove a problem. When the next console comes out, will the current buyers see it as the succesor of the wii, or a whole new product as "detached" from Nintendo as it currently is?

I guess the only way people will see the M!! as a successor would be that the names sound alike or rhyme.
