PA did post an articale that mentioned a really decent reason to have the Revolution renamed. The Word Revolution is apparently incrediby hard to pronounce when translated to japenease.

Because clearly making profit, having more developers interested in developing for their product then either N64 or Gamecube and trying something new is hurting themselves. :rolleyes:

Doing incredibly stupid things that are guaranteed to turn away much of the customer base, however, IS hurting themselves.

It doesn't matter how many developers you have if you don't have any customers.

Bitches, PLEASE. Stop right now. What the fuck's in a name, right?

OK, OK. You can make penis jokes out of it. Big deal. That's the point. Wii is what you make of it. You could pronounce it "We." You could pronounce it "Wi," like in wi-fi. You could pronounce it "Why," as in "Why, God, Why?" You could pronounce it "WHEE!" as in that feeling you're gonna get when you beat a Wii game. You could pronounce it "Oui." Like Cy said, who wouldn't want a Nintendo Yes?

I'm one of those. I may buy one, but there's no way I'm walking up to the store counter and saying I want a Wii... Smartass clerk would probably just point me to the restroom anyway. Enough people will be calling it the Revoloution still that everyone will know what it means.

And if the name was the only thing wrong with it, it wouldn't be too bad. It's the icing on the cake of bad.

What exactly is bad about the pre renamed nintendo revo?

No no... it's like if the Wii is bad, the name is just icing on the cake. But if the Wii is good, you can scrape off the icing and ignore it.

... or something like that, I think.

Or maybe she doesn't know what she's talking about and everyone should wait till E3.

Well, excuse me for thinking that you were only talking about the title. Since, you know, that was the topic at hand.

And no, Knight. I think she's got a beef with the controller. Or maybe it's some other beef. Like the online library being a pay2play library.

The name has been announced, Alpha. The name is bad. This has nothing to do with E3.

Edit: Oh. Meh, whatever. I just don't like the name. I figure the rest will be pretty good.

No what I'm saying is she just said the console (the cake) is bad itself. There's no realistic way she could know this, especially with all the Media being who do know anything about the system saying different, thus meaning the only reasonable and unbias thing to do is to wait till E3 and THEN make a semi-informed decision based on the show but still keep an open minded for after that.

Yeah, that was my mistake. I thought she was staying on the name topic.

No see cause I'd have no problem with her disliking the name, disliking a console she has never played before or knows barely anything about is a whole different story.
