Wii
WHY did they rename the Revolution the Wii?
You go into Game. "Excuse me, I'd like a Wii please," etc.
They apparently decided that the name "Revolution" was too much like the Xbox 360.
WHAT?
WHAT IN THE FLAMING FUCK?
They share a single letter. That is all. How is "Letter+shape+number" the same as "Political action"? The name also shows that Nintendo pay NO ATTENTION to the European/American market. They said the name "shows unity and unites gamers" or some such nonsense, ie it sounds like the word "we."
However, they really should have considered the other meaning. Rolls Royce once produced a car called the "Silver Mist" and failed to check what it meant in other languages. Sounded alright in English, in German it meant Silver Dung.
One last thing for Nintendo is hiring better game-trailer-filming-playing-people. Too many trailers of Resident Evil 4 (to take one example) are played by a fool who seems unable to aim at the slowest-moving and weakest zombie in the game. Nintendo, you've messed up big-time.

To the unknowing person working in a games store for their first job knowing nothing about games... "Excuse me, Can I have a 'wii", I can all but imagine the look on the poor shop assistants face..
Ahh Nintendo....Kings of Marketing indeed.
And the game trailer guy who thought taking down Dr. Salvador with a knife was a good idea (play Resident Evil 4, folks!)...genius.
I've seen nail-clippings with better game-playing abilities.
Looking back at this, we ridiculed but it seems that the world is retarded. The Wii has sold absolutely loads whilst having.......one good game? I refer to Zelda. One good game, and then a load of ports from LAST-GEN GAMES and party games involving shaking the wii-mote up and down furiously (it is supposed to be a bottle of champagne) and spraying it over 3 men (Someone notice the extreme homosexual references in that?).
Thus, the world is retarded.
