So if you walk into a bestbuy or wal-mart and see a videogame console named Wii the first thing you will think of is piss? Non-gamers are not retarded.

Who over the age of 4 uses the term wee anymore?

Appealing to the masses has nothing to do with it. Revolution and Wii are both horrible names, but in a week or less, Wii will become so commonplace that no one will care anymore.

I thought this name was totally cool until I realized it was pronounced "wee" instead of "why."

Hmm...

I think the name is fine. The "DS" isn't the most inventive of names, but no one cared after the good stuff started rolling in. Funny thing to complain about.

It's like workstation, except for games.
It's both fun and serious.
Dreamcast is a bit pretentious, though.

Dreamcast:fishing rod
Playstation:sounds like some shit that playskool would come up with.
Revolution was pretentious,but a far better name than Wii.
