8O Wii ?  Okay, at this point Nintendo is just trying way too hard to be unique.   I was okay with the controller, but the name is just  plain retarded.

The controller looks like it will turn out to be downright amazing. The name, however, sucks. Hey... let's go to my room and play games on my Wii. ARRRG!!!!

play games on what? Wii?  what?  play games on your Wii Wii?!?

It sounds so awkward...oh well, as long as the games are cool I'm down with it.  And like you said the controller is amazing.  I can't wait to play nintendo's wii wii.

I think the name is fun. They probably did it on purpose.
We're talking about Nintendo! ;)
I'm still getting it, no matter what.
(btw, Playstation has always been a stupid name and what about Xbox?!)

Microsoft and Sony aren't the one marketing a console named "wee" that includes a phallus shaped controller.

No but Sony PS3's controller looks like a boomerang so far, I'm not sure that's better! lol
The Wii controller looks like a remote to me. If you want it to be a phallus, hey, it's up to you! ;)

Agreed. However, that's still no excuse for Nintendo to pick a shitty name like Wii.

LOL, both very true points.

I'm a PlayStation guy anyway, but I just kind of thought it was funny they named it Wii, lol.

After saying it a couple of times, the name sounds less retarded now.
