Wii The People
The Official Revolution Name

      Nintendo's next console has officially been announced, no longer shall it be referred to has the Revolution, but now simply as Wii. That is pronounced "we" like as in "We are going to the mall." It is definitely a unique name, sorta. A little weird to talk about in normal conversation. It may not be as "hip" or as "down" as Revolution, heck to be honest I have no idea why they picked it; I don't hate it, it's just... weird. Maybe it's the sound you make while you play it?
      The only reason why I can think that they announced the new name before E3 was so that people don't show up and be like "Where is the Revolution? What is Wii?" And whether you like it or not, it is here to stay. Nintendo feels that this is a unique name when compared to Revolution, similar to Google and Amazon, something that stands out. The special spelling is to represent both the controllers and friends coming together and playing.
