As you all probably know, Nintendo's next console, which was code-named "Nintendo Revolution", has been officially dubbed "Nintendo Wii". Or "Nintendo's Wii" if you want to make fun of it. But how is Wii pronounced? Some say it's Wee. Actually, everyone says it's Wee. But I just want to know this. Wo of everyone actually call it something besides "Wee"? So, yeah. Post how you think it is pronounced.

Edit: Kishi crushed my dreams. It's pronounced "Wee". Not "Wee-y". Not "Wy-ee". Just wee. u_u

Personally, I pronounce it "Revolution."

It's pronounced like "we." There's no room for debate.

I guess it's just so that it can be pronounced "Wee". o_o

Yeah but Wii sounds stupid.

"Mommy, can I go to Timmy's house, I wanna play with his Wii."

It sold out and is now pronounced psychotic. That's why I voted the censored version.

You pronounce Wee like Wee. And I hope that the Wee has a start up sound like Playstation (y'know, the "Playstation" in cool accent thing?) that says "WEE!"

Y'know, it's most likely just for publicity anyway, so...meh. :cat:

"Wee" is how it's pronounced.

The insanity of the english language. It's funny how in most other languages it's EASY to pronounce it.

"Wee" people "Wee":tonberry:

Playstation, Xbox, Gamecube, Wii... None sound particularly ridiculous to me, but at the same time they sounded weird until I heard them enough I didn't think about it anymore... So I have to ask, how come the only console with the cool name didn't make the cut?: Dreamcast.

All Hail Dreamcast.

Ah, I just noticed there was another thread. Well, post about the stupidity of it in the thread I made; they both have separate topics! :p
