Nintendo announced the name of it's next generation console, code named Revolution today as Wii. What kind of a name is this you ask? Well Nintendo has done a fairly good job of explaining it.
"Introducing ... Wii. As in "we." While the code-name "Revolution" expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer. Wii will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else. Wii will put people more in touch with their games ... and each other. But you're probably asking: What does the name mean?"
"Wii sounds like 'we,' which emphasizes this console is for everyone. Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii."
"Wii has a distinctive "ii" spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play. And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of video games that sets it apart from the crowd."
"So that's Wii. But now Nintendo needs you. Because, it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii. And together, Wii will change everything."
So, with this announcement it is clear that Nintendo is not trying to claim the major hardcore gamer network. It looks as if they are trying to appeal to those coming into the gaming world - an entry level console if you will.
