I don't think it's Wii as much as two i's together. When you see ii you think two I's which signifies two people together. Since all gamers are single overweight males the ii sends a subliminal message to your brain and makes you think you'll be together with someone. When you actually play the games you really connect with the Mii's (again 2 i's) or the Mario characters so you get hooked.

Nintendo uses this method so you'll search out more Wii games instead of looking for a female thus keeping you hooked. Then, the single overweight males pick a fight with Jay520 and beat him up because they are so frustrated from being lonely.

This is a good observation. But there is more to it than symbolism and subliminal messages, you see. It is true voodo, or brainwashing power if you will. While Apple discovered the power of the single lowercase i on the human mind, Nintendo discovered that if you double the amount of ii's, it doubles the brainwashing power. Therefore, the overwhelming power of the two lowercase ii's together bring about a hypnotic trance that force the poor, unsuspecting gamer into buying casual Nintendo products such as Wii Play  and Wii fit (the latter of which actually has three iii's, hence the even greater sales!). This is proven, scientific fact!


I think there's a grander scheme going on.  Nintendo found a way to double the brainwashing powers with the double i but Apple found a way to brainwash you more quickly by putting the i before the product name.  It takes over your brain faster but the power is not a strong.  This explains why so many people by ipods so quickly.  The problem is that the trance doesn't last very long so they have to keep releasing products yearly or the people will move on.  Now Nintendo knew the power of the ii but realized if they put the ii upfront right away people would catch on to their world domination scheme.  That's why Nintendo formed Apple many years ago so they could slowly saturate the market and gain trust.  In a few years time the iiPOWii will release and Nintendo will have absolute authority over the human populace.  They must wait a few more years though because they do not have a big enough influence on 3rd world countries.
