MTV.com said:Under the name Revolution, the Nintendo console and its unusual motion-sensitive remote-control-shaped controller generated months of hype. But at NeoGAF.com, a Web site where the hardest of hard-core gamers hang out, the initial reaction to "Wii" tipped to the negative. "I don't get it," wrote a gamer calling himself Speevy. "Months of positive hype, a genuine competitive advantage, and they named the thing Wii? If consumers don't even want to say the name of the product, they're not going to buy it."
MTV.com said:Another poster named Sho Nuff wrote, "I'm actually laughing out loud thinking of 'wee' jokes. ... There is no way they can release a console with that name in Britain." According to a Nintendo spokesperson, the Wii name will be used worldwide.
MTV.com said:There has been an occasional positive comment about the name. A NeoGAF poster named SuperPac wrote, "I like it. It's not the name of a game system. It's an iconic name like iPod. The more I think about it, the more I think this is the right choice."
GitarooMan said:Why do people keep bringing up Ipod? Maybe it's just me, but I don't remember ever feeling that Ipod was extraordinarily strange, like I feel about Wii.

GitarooMan said:Say what you want about it, but I'm not sure it's a great thing that NoA has to come out on the day of the announcement and start the spin on the name, i.e. "Look at Google", "Play the system and you'll get it", etc...

I made sure that NeoGAF would be part of the Wii story, quite literally. Some of you show up in my MTV News piece on the Wii.

You might also be interested in the quote I included from Perrin Kaplan about why she thinks people will eventually come around and like the name of the console:
-Stephen
I mean that it's more like 'why' than 'wee'. But whatever, the name still sounds silly.Yeah, it is pronounced that way.
