It's so simple, that there is no need for abbreviating the name, as it's Wii. Wii is Wii, a one syllable name. Not a multiple syllable name like PlaySation3 and Xbox 360. Just one syllable. Nintendo is making an attempt to reach out to non-gamers with the Wii. As ridiculous as the name may be, it makes a whole lot of sense.

I have read on several fansites that most of them don't like the name, but it's something that we will get used to by the time E3 comes around, and I think it's a smart move by the Big N to announce the name early, so it won't be the main point of discussion of E3 if it was announced in E3.

And for the record, I support the name Nintendo Wii.
Are you saying that we're to stupid to pronounce Revolution and that's why there doing it, if so that's a bunch of bull. We can't say multiple syllables so they're changing it to a one sylable word.
