Remember when the Wii was gonna be called Nintendo Revolution?

Revolution sounds 10X better but that's just me.

I wanted it to be called the Rev.

Back then, I would say Nintendo Revolution, because Wii sounded dumb and silly. But honestly, I'm liking the title Wii better than Nintendo Revolution now.

Yeah at first I was like: Dude that name sucks!
But now I've just grown accustomed to Wii and I think "Nintendo Revolution" would actually sound really bad for a console.

Wii.

Revolution for me. I would of been so proud to own it. But then again, probably not because it has the weakest library of games in my opinion.

Wii. But then again, Revolution Sports, Revolution Play and Revolution Fit sound much better =P

And that's not even mentioning Revolution Music... =O

The Revolution would have been great.
However Japan had other plans. xD Oh well.

Absolutely the Revolution. The Wii still sounds dumb to me, I don't know.

I would have preferred Nintendo Revolution, for two reasons.  One, it gives justice to the actual revolution that Nintendo has made in the gaming industry throughout the generations, and two, it would be one less reason to trash talk Nintendo.

They should just call it "The Nintendo".

I think they changed the name to Wii because casual gamers would rather buy a console named Wii rather than Revolution. Revolution sounds more hardcore.

"Revolution sounds 10X better but that's just me."

Well, naming it the Wii was intentional... they wanted it to be simple and universal, much like the system itself.  And it worked.  The Revolution sounds cool, but if it failed to deliver, then it's not really a revolution, right?

So I vote Wii.

"Remember when the Wii was gonna be called Nintendo Revolution?"

I used to think Wii sounded childish, but now I'm used to it.

who cares what its called, it is sadly dying. and that is what we should be focused on.

How is it dying? To the hardcore maybe yes, but they are still the fastest selling console this generation. 

Not that I think this is a good thing as, unfortunatly, Nintendo seems to be moving away from catering to my gaming needs and instead heading for the supposedly greener pastures of the casual market.

Time wil tell if that is wise.

Revolution was nice, but the Wii was what made it so big.

I still liked Revolution, and the name of my Wii actually is Revolution.

Wii is better.

Revolution was a great name, I wanted that

I like the name revolution better.

Wii because it sounds like its for everybody.

Hard to say when they origanally announced that they were naming it the Wii i was like WTF, but now that its been a while im fine with it.

It's irrelevant at this point.... but the Wii sounded fucked up to me at first. Sounds normal now.

Revolution. Its the same system either way though.

Revolution sounds so much more bad ass...

should have kept rev.

Revolution sounds soooo much better, but it would turn off the older more casual players which is technically what Nintendo is aiming at with the Wii.

No, I'm still a Revolution guy. Sure, I've gotten used to "Wii" but it's still totally ridiculous and I don't think the world will ever run out of "Wii jokes"...

EDIT: Still think that "Dolphin" is the best name ever for a console though. Nintendo needs to use that at some point.

Revolution sounds much cooler than "Wii". I've heard several people joke about the Wii. It works great in puns too. I was playing with my Wii all night last night.

Revolution is way too long, Wii works out quite well for me

how about wii sucks, im tired of all these gimmick games, nintendo REALLY let me down this generation! :'( at least i have the DS :)

"who cares what its called, it is sadly dying. and that is what we should be focused on."

Revolution is a much better name. I don't know what Ninty were smoking when they decided to change it.

I nicknamed my Wii "Revolution" in the Wii settings =P.

Revolution. I still don't get why they elected to call it the "Wii."

Revolution did sound really good at the time, but I really grew to like Wii, so I wouldn't have it any other way.

Revoltuion..or they could have just shortened it to like Revo

Well I like the name Revolution better, but I think it was a bit much in terms of how much the console actually revolutionized gaming. Something a little more subtle.

I still prefer Revolution. It describes what the console actually does - revolutionize controller design, which had been getting a bit stale. A little hyperbolic, sure, but it also gets an actual point across.

That said, I've gotten used to Wii, and I suppose it sounds a little more accessible to people who would actually choose a console based on its name.

Did everyone forget Wii is also another way of saying piss?

Revolution.

I vote for Revolution.

Yea i agree with some other posters here, i think Revolution was the better name, but now Wii sounds so normal it doesn't really matter.
