If they want a system-seller name, they should go for another one-syllable, easily-recognizable, and readily-parodied word. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Puu.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

I prefer WII notice that the ii becomes II as in the roman numeral 2



How about the Wii Elite, or Wii-Lete?



its obviously going to be Uss, it makes sense, from Wii to Uss



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Several suggestions:
* Wiii
* Gotta Go Wii
* World War Wiii

The name will likely be something people don't expect actually, and be used to capture what the system is about.

It will be called the "Zii", because Z is the last letter in the Alphabet to imply nothing greater will come after it!

The Controller will be the "Laa" that stands for "Lightspeed, Accurate & Advanced"

The Network will be called the "Goo" as in Go Go Go, because it will be fast and reliable!

Everything together will be sold as the "Goo Zii Laa" Bundle!



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

How technical is your game?

I think Wii Plus seems the most probable of the suggestions but I don't think they'd go with that either.
