Wii all like to make jokes.

So Nintendo have announced the name for the Revolution with be the Nintendo Wii (Pronounced "We"). What do I think?

It's just a name.

Yes it sounds like a word for piss, a commonly used word for piss, but that means nothing.

The console that gave games a cool image was called PLAYstation. Play to me is a word I associate with kids, "Can you come out to PLAY?" "Go PLAY with your friends?". Yes we PLAY games but it's still a word more used with children than anything else.

Then there's the Xbox. As Todd from Scrubs said "Is the perfect word for a vagina" (something like that).

Dreamcast, possibly the gayest name ever for a console ever

Game BOY. Do I need to continue?

Gizmondo. WTF?

Some of the best names come when you don't think so hard. NES, SNES, Famicom, Master System, Mega Drive, N64, Nintendo DS, Saturn, Lynx, Jaguar, etc. However those last two kinda show that even a great name won't make a console a sucess.

So really I have no problems with the name. Though the jokes are still funny.

even more so that Koch Media are Nintendo's new Distributing partner (see bottom of list).

It seems like Koch will be distributing Wii all over the UK.
