I like the logo and the fact that its one syllable. Other than that, I dunno.
Nintendo has made some very bad first impressions lately. Remember the first reactions to Celda, DS, and the Revolution controller? Now this. If the name of the console is the suckiest part about, I'll be happy.

I kinda like it. It's not a generic videogame console name, which seems to fit well with where they're trying to take things. "Xbox 360" is retarded, and reinforces the idea that videogames in general are around the same ladder rung as pro wrestling. Playstation 3...well, what can you say really, about that?
Wii.

The Nintendo Wii...just WHY? So the marketing people want consumers to ask "WHY should I buy this wee-wee machine?" So much for successfully emulating the Apple/IPod approach.

For a lot of people, it's not so much how bad the name Wii is as much as it's about how the word Revolution is a thousand times better. Revolution is neither as cheesy as PlayStation or Dreamcast and nowhere near as French or penis-inclined as Wii.

Wow. A name fitting for a new Depends under garment for elderly people. "The Nintendo Wii. It's like a paradigm shift in your pants."
A logo which will confuse people who think it means either "Wifi or wee-wee." Real brilliant, Iwata and Miyamoto.
The worst console name EVER. HOW can you mess up a console name????? Jaguar, Turbo Express, NGage, Nomad, as random examples all sound 100X better than this. It's going to be sad hearing poor Reggie being forced to try and make the name sound cool at E3. The Revolution logo and name was perfect, should have just stuck with that. Or as an idea "NES N." ANYTHING.
This makes Yamauchi's original Starcube name back in the day seem 100% normal.
That E3 press show better have some incredible looking games is all I can say. Too bad their impact might be overshadowed marketing wise by this vomit inducing brand name.
This, and the 4000 posts like it that are surely on the way are far more annoying than the console name could ever be.
Braaaaaaainssssss
Consoles just have shitty names. It's the law.
Playstation. Fucking Playstation. C'mon. We all get used to it and think nothing of it. Same will happen here.
