Apparantly Miyamoto didn't like Wii. Now's he's a big Wii fan. Go figure.
Quote:
"When we first thought about it, myself and others felt that the name Revolution was very appropriate to what we were doing," Shigeru Miyamoto told me recently, "but [Revolution] is a name that was almost threatening to non-gamers. It wasn't acceptable. So we thought this was more friendly and inviting."

Miyamoto, of course, has had longer than the rest of us to get used to it. The Wii name, he said, was finalized more than six months before it was announced to the world.


I still don't like the name, but it almost sounds...natural now.

lol, ich mag nach wie vor die wii are family etc. spässchen ^^
