"Revolution wasn't the best name, but it was totally doable. I don't even want to buy the "wii" it just sounds ridiculous."
"WTF??? WHY???"
"Please, it is too awkward, and frankly-uncool"
"revolution sounds too cool to be changed to "wii" i mean, when i am talking to my friends, i don't wanna be like "yeah..i have wii" it sounds like i have bladder issues instead of a cool game system"
"В"
"You can't really expect a name thats synonomous with penis to go over well."
"I support this petition"
"All the reasons for picking the name are great, but the name itself contradicts those reasons in many ways."
"I will buy one and I love the console idea, but the name really doen't fit with my expectations or with anything"
"I think it's a publicity stunt and the real name will be revealed at E3... but just in case..."
"Nintendo, please reconsider your decision to name your new console the "Wii." This is a step backwards from capturing new gamers, I assure you. It is a bad decision from both an asthetic and business standpoint. The name "Wii" sounds silly, carries bad co"
"at least if the name Wii is important to you guys make it Wii Suck at Naming, no revolution rocks!"

"Never has there been a darker day in Nintendo history."
"I liked "Revolution" better"
"I support this petition"
"You have chosen a very poor name and I will not buy one if you use this name. Please choose a better name, such as calling it the Revolution."
"Wii??? What the...Revolution not only sounded cool, but kind of said everything that needed to be said about the system. The motion sensor controllers, the "not next-genereation" console: IT WAS REVOLUTIONARY! Wii?"
"Back to the Revolution! It says the point of the machine strongly, and Wii, although fits the system in a metaphorical way, is, to be blunt, boring."
"Who would want to play with my wii?"
"wii is a stupid name"
