Nintendo Wii? Oh, lordy.
Nintendo just released the official name of their new 21st century game system today: Wii. Pronounced like "we". Or "wee".

I've been looking forward to playing this system for months now, and I still can't wait to buy it, but... Wii? Wii?!

At least it makes me laugh.

2. Well, look at it this way.
If the Queen of England gets one, we can have fun calling it the Royal Wii.

3. What if someone stole it from her?
Then would it be taking a Royal Wii?

4. You'll have to be careful asking people to game with you.
"Hey Jenny, wanna go to my house and play with my Wii? No? All right. Will you ask your brother if he wants to come over and play with my Wii?"

I sense Nintendo may have a hard time living this one down.

6. What was wrong with the Revolution name?!?!
The Nintendo Revolution was both cool sounding and fit their concept well. Wii? Dumbest. Name. Ever.
