My Wii nickname is N7. Thats because this is Nintendo's 7th generation console. VII (roman numerals, get it?). That said, despite the Wii being a phenomenal success, I think Nintendo should've used the name Vii first. I think it sounded cooler. Then again, a world with no Wii puns? What kind of world is that?

Meh? Am i not getting ur post properly, cos the Wii is actually nintendos 5th console?

meh, im prolly being stupid and not getting it.

 

Yeah, Vii sux. There was a review of it on the net, and it just seemed hilarious.

 

Well actually it's Nintendo's 6th if you count the Color TV Game consoles from 1977.

1. Color TV Game (1977)

2. Family Computer (Famicom)/NES (1983/1985)

3. Super Family Computer (Super Famicom)/SNES (1990/1991)

4. Nintendo 64 (1996)

5. Gamecube (2001)

6. Wii (2006)

Handhelds are side systems. We're just counting home consoles.

And yes Vii sucks but it just goes to show how Nintendo has changed the world of gaming with Wii. Even in ways they didn't quite anticipate or realize. Something tells me this Vii thing will sell more units than it should. Chinese counterfeiting! My God! They're relentless!
