Ultimately, I think the name doesn't matter. Even if it does sound silly, it's whether third parties decide to support the system for the long run that will make or break it. (See: N64, Gamecube)

This one will have it. The creator of Halo has said that he wants to work on this platform in the next gen. Obviously, it won't be Halo as, I believe, Microsoft has dibs. But any of his future software, he's stated he wants to develop for the Wii. With that declaration, others will come. And EA is making the Wii a first-round option on games instead of delaying it beyond the release dates for Microsoft and Sony as they usually did.

As for the name, I don't mind it now that I know the justification. But I still prefer "Revolution." Whitehaven makes a good point, though. I guess Wii really does transcend language barriers.

Oh, and for the record, I'm not buying the PS3 or the 360. I have no interest. The Wii is Mii. Sorry, bad pun.
