... the new name for the next generation console is really, really bad.
As you may or may not have heard, Nintendo was producing their next gen console under the working name Revolution which was really cool. Now that they are getting into the selling aspect of the product, they picked a new name. Wii. That's not a type. They are calling it the Nintendo Wii. Pronouched "Whee".
I have to ask what marketing genius thought up that name and how bad were the alternative names they were looking at for Wii to be the best one of the bunch? Waa? Woo? Crashbox? Moronocube? I don't know, but they must have been real stinkers.
Ah well, what's in a name? The important thing for me, and this will determine if I purchase a Wii (sigh) or not, is whether or not it is backwards compatible with Gamecube games. If its not, I won't bother with it and might consider some other console in the future.
Sigh. Wii.
