Personally I think the name Wii was purely a marketing thing.
The Revolution was the least known of the three consoles, it was pretty much considered to be a thing for Ninty fanboys and nobody else and a lot of PS2 gamers wouldnt have even heard of it.
Then they renamed it the 'Wii' and the internets resounded with a huge 'WHAT THE FUCK?' suddenly everybody who used the internet had heard of the Wii, and heard it again and again and again.
Basically it got Nintendos name back out there.
