New Name for Revolution

I dunno, the XBOX 360 was a much dumber name when it was announced. At least this one has comedic value.

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

"Of course the people don't want war. 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."

Agreed.

 

This new name is kinda like... I dunno... dumb.

This is stupid. Why change the name to something so...Stu-pod?

BWAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

 

This makes me want to find that Gonads and Strife flash video.

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.  Deals like this kills development studios.

It isn't that bad, I am sure Wii will all get used to it.
