    Hahaha!

    I just heard about the, ah, "Wii" either yesterday or Sunday...I just kind of put my head on my hand and shook my head. I still wonder who decided that was a good idea. Honestly.......it just boggles the mind.

    I think they're going to regret that decision later on...

    No, people will get over it. I'm not an NES fanboy by any means (never liked N64), but I think Nintendo knows what it's doing.

    Two years ago everyone was saying that a portable console with two screens was just plain stupid. Consider that.

    Maybe they could have gone with some format of "us" but I can't really think of a "cool, new agey" way to spell that and make it work in several languages. Not sure I like the remote design either...looks kind of awkward...I don't want to play my games with a VCR remote...

    It seems some people never get tired of the same games over and over and over again

    People are afraid of new things that are out of their comfort zone, obviously.

    No. It doesn't matter that people say it's stupid; the DS is currently the best-selling console worldwide. They can't keep production up with demand. Don't you think it's a little myopic to say that the name Wii will "definitely end careers"?

    I agree with samsonlonghair - it won't end careers because usually people will buy a product they want regardless of the name or small things they don't like about it. Sure, the name Wii is going to get made fun of...a lot (especially since it already has), and the control is weird, but they're still going to sell. I'd bet plenty of money on this.

    It will intimidate the more self-conscious gamers though.

    Very interesting stuff. I'm not sure which console I like the most, though the price does seem alot more reasonable on the Nintendo system.
