Official Wii Press Release
Introducing Wii.
As in we.
While the code-name Revolution expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer.
Wii will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else.
Wii will put people more in touch with their games and each other. But youre probably asking: What does the name mean?
Wii sounds like we, which emphasizes this console is for everyone.
Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.
Wii has a distinctive ii spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play.
And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of video games that sets it apart from the crowd.
So thats Wii. But now Nintendo needs you.
Because, its really not about you or me.
Its about Wii.
And together, Wii will change everything.
