Some Japanese marketing department didn"t do their cultural phonetics research. Their going to Wii their pants once they realize what they"ve done. Then cry "Wii, Wii, Wii" all the way home.
I give a 50/50 chance they actualy keep the name.
I agree it's an absolutely retarded name that will not go over well anywhere but Japan maybe. I'm no marketing guru but I know a product's name has a lot to do with its image and subsequent sales.
"Daddy, we want a Wii for christmas!"
Maybe it's a late April fools joke.

I hope it is.
The marketing is terrible, but then it's following suit with the tech.
