    I'm not so sure that calling the revolution "wii" is the worst idea in the world. Let's look at it from Nintendo's perspective:

    The word "Revolution" sounds really damn cool in English, but it's damn near impossible to pronounce with a Japanese tongue. Twenty years ago they could simply call a console "Famicon" in one region and "NES" in another. Due to the prevalence of the internet this is no longer an option.

    Nintendo has to pick a word that sounds the same in all languages. How do you do that? Simple: make up a word.
