This is part of the big plan of Nintendo. They needed a short, simple, yet weird name. Like Google, wikipedia, etc. Google has a weird name. When I first saw it, I was weirded out. However, Google is a rather popular thing now. Also, it's not a gaming console. Wii, while it is a gaming console, seems to be aiming towards being perceived as a "Playing" console instead. However, wii, being sick minded nerds, think of it this way first: http://mariowiifirstlook.ytmnd.com/ when we are meant to think of it THIS way: http://mitchwii.ytmnd.com/

Yourself, other people, and fun. Yourself, other people, and fun. Nintendo can't call it whee, because that's only fun. They can't call it we, because that's just yourself and other people. So, calling it Wii makes it both. Once you get past the "Wee" part, that's what it is. After that, it will just be the Wii. Not the Wee. Not yourself, other people, and fun. Just Wii. o.o We'll get used to it.
