Also, the names are...

GameCUBE
DS = Dual Screen (how original)
Wii (I have to go Wii!)
Because Sony and Microsoft's naming system is so much better.

PlayStation
PlayStation 2
PlayStation 3

What's next? Oh, oh, lemme guess! PlayStation...FOUR!! ZOMG!! AND THE XBOX 720!!


At least the Wii actually has good meaning behind its name, and it's very creative and simple.


But regardless of name, we all know which ones are selling the best. ;D
Yea, the one that doesn't sound like the noise a kid makes when he's running around the house naked.
You act like Nintendo of America decided on the name. Actually, NoA hated the name at first, because of all the bad puns. "Wii" doesn't have any silly synonyms in Japanese. It's no problem over there, and it shouldn't be a problem anywhere else. It's just a name, and a very creative and simple one at that. If you make fun of it then you're just acting like a five year old who laughs when they hear the word "Uranus". >_>
The original name sounded cooler "Nintendo Revolution". What was wrong with that?

Yeah it's selling best because all the little kiddies need something to play
No, it's selling best because it appeals to more people. Not just little kids and old people, everyone. The average Wii gamer is in their 20s, anyway. Not 10s, not 60s. 20s. >_>

Average is the keyword.
If you add 5 million 7 year olds to 5 million 80 year olds, and divide by 10 million, you get 20 as an average age.

Too long, hard to say in other languages, and isn't fitting. Sure, the Wii is a gaming revolution, but what happens when the next console comes out? OH, I KNOW... LET'S CALL IT THE NINTENDO REVOLUTION 2!! The name "Wii" fits perfectly. The Wii emphasizes on playing games together, thus the "we" homophone. And the two "i"s represent two people playing together. Plus it's short, simple, and easy to say in any language. It's the perfect name.

Hey, the Wii is a great console! It's not just for kids, it's for everyone! /sarcasm
Well, it is. It's not something to be sarcastic about. >_>

The Wii does target hardcore audiences, too. So what if it also targets casual gamers and non-gamers? Those people may become the hardcore gamers of the future! Nintendo's expanding the gaming audience. That's a good thing.

Err, no. Just because my mom played Wii sports for 10 minutes doesn't mean she'll go out and buy GTA 4.

Um...no. The most common age of Wii gamers is 29. Most common.

Guy Two: Dohohohohoho. That's what she said!

Best name ever Tye, best name ever.

Not everyone is going to become hardcore gamers, but there are many people who have been exposed to video games now thanks to the Wii that have never done so before. Of course not every single person is going to become a core gamer, but some of them will, and that's good. But really, it doesn't matter if you're casual or hardcore. All that matters is that you have fun. If some people can have a ton of fun with Wii Sports and Wii Fit, then let them be. How is that any different from you having fun with your core games? It isn't. The only difference is the games themself. Every game is different, but the reason behind all games are the same; to bring entertainment to people. If it succeeds in that, then it's all good.
 
Guys, the Wii isn't just for kids. It appeals to everyone. Its games range from Casual - Hardcore. And instead of complaining about it, go and trade it in for another system so that you don't have to deal with it anymore.

Why? Most hardcore gamers are in their 30s, you know. It's not all teens, despite what you may want to believe.
