TWRoO said: @mikey, yeah Sega had the best names for their consoles....lets see if i can put all the names in order of how great they are for a traditional console. (i am leaving the Wii out because it s different, and i dont mean the new controller i mean the concept behind it) It seems, Ignoring Wii (which is at the top of a list of it's own) Nintendos code names are much better nams for consoles than the final names. |
I have to disagree with you TWRoO, at the time The Sega MegaDrive was a much better name then Genesis, anything with "Mega" was great in the late 80's Actually...I still think it sounds far cooler.
Wii is a unique name where as Revolution is a Word, this alone makes it a far better name for a product. when you talk about the "Wii" people automatically ask "whats a wii" or maybe "Wii?" it's makes it a topic of conversation.
It's also easy to say, cute and fun. Wii is about being Easy to play and fun and it looks cute/simple/sleek so the name really fits it.
