Llyranor Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I dunno, the XBOX 360 was a much dumber name when it was announced. At least this one has comedic value. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterSun Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Wedbush Morgan Securities' Michael Pachter was more mixed in his assessment. "My initial reaction, of course, is that the name is dumb," he bluntly stated. "However, upon reflection, I thought that the name Game Boy was dumb, REALLY thought that the name Xbox was dumb, and can't even recall my reaction to PlayStation. Let's face it, devices with cool names like Dreamcast and Gizmondo fail, and the lame names seem to do well." With logic like that, the Wee has to be a success :D master of my domain Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I'm not going into a store and preordering Wii. Sensible people will continue to call it the Revolution I hope. I'm just waiting for the first offline person to tell me this news so I can ask if they are taking the piss. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now.

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 (edited) Wa is apparently circle sounds less stupid just as easy to remember. Wii is a good play on words and the two little i's look like stick people with heads. But it's still silly to say. Edited April 27, 2006 by ShadowPaladin V1.0 I have to agree with Volourn.
