I heard about "Wee"... Errr sory!! I mean "Wii" on the radio this morning.
It's sounds like a good console but why call it Wii? The nintendo are just Asking to have the piss taken out of them there ("Piss" being the oprative word actually!)

That means I'll get to play with my Super Smash Brothers Wii.
Come to think of it, WTF would be a good name change now
there was a picture here
Nintendo + Phallic Symbolism = One Freakin' Amazing Console.
On a related side-note, Nintendo have revealed that 'Koch Media' will be their official European distributor. And no, I'm not joking. *snigger*

uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"
:laughing:
Funny stuff.
for some reason i see Nintendo going out of business within the next 5 years

There are actually people who would get the Wii because it's an awesome system and not just because it has a name that's only remotely funny in English. Not to mention the countless people who support Nintendo, and rightly so.
I dont get why people ever say that... -_-
Nintendo is far from 'going out of business'... I'd expect that to happen to Sony or MS before it happens to Nintendo!
Why?
Cause they make more profit than Sony and MS...
They've been doing what they do best, for over 20 years, twice the time of Sony or MS...
They make good quality hardware and software, thats fun/new/ and apeals to many...
and probably most importantly, they have a huge fanbase of extreamly loyal fans, that would take a bullet for Shigeru Miyamoto, and allow Mario to kill their family in exchange to live in the mushroom kindom. XD ok well not quite, but their fanbase is BIG, and in general, more loyal than MS's and Sony's combined.
I'd almost say, that even if no one but the loyal Nintendo fans bought the Wii, it would still sell enough to keep Nintendo going! ^_~
Besides, I HIGHLY doubt the name will effect sales AT ALL. No its not the best name, and I think NOJ should have put more thought into how the rest of the world would preceive the name... but Wii is what it is now, so deal with it. The name doesn't effect ANYTHING, its still the same great console!

Agreed.
In sega's case it took a few consoles that didn't do so well before sega opted out of the console-making market. In Nintendo's case, their last few consoles especially have done quite well. They are not going to go away anytime soon.
Ditto
Nintendo's NEVER going away *points to the DS*
If anyone's going to go away it's Microsoft when they finally get tired of loosing so much money on a mediocre system.
it's very true, even if nintendo left the console market, which I highly doubt they ever will because they've still been very successful despite what you people think, they'll always be in the portable market.

What's with the crappy gay name?
LET THE HAMMER FALL
Not really, Nintendo fan base is definately smaller than the MS's and Sony's fanbase. Its safe to say that Nintendo havent made a decent console since the SNES, the N64 failed due to Cartridges, and the Gamecube failed due to people switching to other consoles after the N64. Nintendo will never become more popular than Sony, never. The GC is the weakest console in America and Australia, and the second best in Japan. More people want Xbox's or Playstations. Nintendo have been struggling in the market more than the others. Sony are keeping it safe as they know they will win. If Nintendo was a firm competitors, they wouldnt be coming up with these odd ideas.
Problem with this is that neither the N64 nor the Gamecube were what you'd call "failures". Neither was top selling, but both still did very well.Not really, Nintendo fan base is definately smaller than the MS's and Sony's fanbase.

They were pretty bad considering that before those consoles Nintendo dominated the market.
