Well, if you had to pick a letter to go behind "Wii", which one would YOU have picked?

-Wii A? Reminds people of "The Avengers" and people clearly agree that The Dark Knight Rises was the better movie.

-Wii B? Just horrible grammar. Remember that Sean Paul song "We Be Burning"? There ya go.

-Wii C? Sound too much like Lil Wayne's nickname, "Weezy"

-Wii D? Like the cereal, "Wheaties"? Or the drug? Not the message Nintendo wants to send.

-Wii E? Like "WHEEEEEE!" No console is that much fun. A little truth in advertising from Nintendo. I like that.


No, after going through the entire alphabet, the only letter that makes even a little sense is Wii U. It's perfect.

Don't stop there!

-Wii F? Makes people think of failing a test in school. Nintendo doesn't want to drudge up bad memories.

-Wii G? Sounds like Ouija board. Probably some copyright infringement there.

-Wii H? H is the symbol for the element hydrogen, very flammable as a gas. Nintendo doesn't want customers thinking their console will spontaneously combust.

-Wii I? A grammatical nightmare.

-Wii J? Let's just call it Wii joint and get it over with.


-Wii K?  Sound a little too much like "Weak".  We don't want to give the trolls any more ammo.

-Wii L?  There was already a Wii Wheel that came packaged with Mario Kart Wii.  People would get confused.

-Wii M?  A whim?  That would make the console sound like just an afterthought.  Not good at allm

-Wii N?  And what exactly are "We in"?  Deep trouble.  That's what.

-Wii O?  The letter "O" is owned by Oprah Winfrey.  You don't want to get into a legal dispute with her.

-Wii P?  Two words that stand for urine?  The media would have a field day.

-Wii Q? As in queue? No one wants to wait in a long line for the next Wii.

-Wii R? We are the world? We are the champions? We are the 99%? Kinda arrogant for Nintendo.

-Wii S? Looks too much like Wii 5. There would be thousands of confused shoppers looking for discounted Wii 2, 3, and 4.

-Wii T? Might as well call it w00t.

-Wii U? Nothing wrong with that!


Exactly!

Wii U is just perfect!



Switch!!!

Yes, MS could claim almost all the existing patents on such tech and sue Ninty for billions!
