Nintendo takes the Wii

There's a piece on the MCV site which says that Nintendo are calling the new consoles (formerly Revolution) the Wii (pronounced "we"). Because it sounds like another word, have they made a mistake or are they, perhaps, taking the piss? :) (Excuse the language, please.)

It's official alright.

I like it. It's a name (and a logo) with lots of appropriate meanings, that isn't just supposed to sound "cool". When did we last see that in the console market?

But I think the inappropriate meanings of Wii sounding like wee outweighs that.

What's their marketing going to be? Have a Wii on your TV? :)
