Maybe Nintendos not as dumb as i thought

Some reason i was thinking about the name "Wii" and speculating the change base don my ignorance towards the companies practices.

then it hit me, "Wii" is a synonym for "small" at least in slang terminology. They changed it to the Wii from 'Revolution'. Maybe the name was sparked from something so cool because Nintendo realized the Wii may not be sparking the "next best thing evarrrr", calling it the Revolution now would just be mocked by everyone who isn't a nintendo devotee, so "Wii" may have been chosen to subconsciously call it a "Small Revolution" and also a good marketing term to sway away from "Begin the Revolution" or something to "We Would Like to Play" meaning "Us, Together" etc. Probably changed because they themselves coldn't get the controller to do what it was originally designed to do, hence the new attachment that still hasn't come out yet.
because if it stayed "The Nintendo Revolution" what the big N would be symbolizing is "A revolution of low-grade bargain bin games en'mass" as well as bringing your Nanny in to play some "Fair Games". :) They saw this coming, so the name change ensued.


This isn't mean to be taken seriously though, jsut a fun little thought that crossed my brain while i came back to work from Dairy Queen.
