Re: Revolution news!

Well, for Penny Arcade, I was trying to refer to the current comic, but since the link to the comic is not static yet I can't direct link it.

If you don't think a name means anything to its sales, take a marketing class.

I agree with this statement.


But I also agree that the Wii is a proper name for the console. It is the direction they want to go and who knows, maybe it will work?

Does that mean I think Wii is a cool name?  (my answer doesn't really matter now does it?)




The console's name is Wii. Live with it people....Live with it

Quite frankly, I don't care about the name. I still love the ystem for what it is, and will be. Sure, the title Revolution sounded dynamic, but whatever. It's Nintendo's descision, and I'm going to respect it. It wouldn't keep me from buying the system if they called it the Nintendo 'I'm a big gay fag loser and I like it in the butt from horses'.

Of course the name of a system is the first thing everyone hears, but after they get over that, it's just like someone's name.

And in that sense, I think that Wii was a great choice for Nintendo. Just think about all the kids with weird names that got made fun of in elementary school. Now that they're in high school, they're al envied because their name is unique, and not some lame common name like Justin or Ashley. My name's Cal, and that's how it's gone for me.

I think that the same sort of thing will follow for Nintendo's new system.

And if anything this just makes me believe even stronger that Nintendo is to the gaming world what Mac is to the computer world, and what Bob Dylan was to the music world. Both Bob Dylan and Mac have had their ups and downs, but it's hard for anyone to say that Mac and Dylan haven't been sucessful, and the same goes with Nintendo.

I'm espically glad to hear that Nintendo has decided on this name. Ever since Sega went out, names for consoles have beeen lame. Gamecube is lame, Xbox is lame, Playstation is lame.

I'm glad to see the creativty that follows the Revolution/Wii.

Nintendo's doing something really crazy right now.  They're alienating hardcore gamers with the "wii" name, but then again they're offering their entire back library to be played on their system along with Turbografx Hudson games and whatever else.  

It's pretty funny, they're not targetting the hardcore gamers, but then again they are throwing them a bone.

I'm game.
