The Wii Game Console has had its name changed many times before it was release. Interesting is that one of the top considered names for the Wii was Revolution. That is not half bad. But since the Nintendo executives was planning a worldwide distribution of this home gaming system, they chose a name that was simple to pronounce in any language. Very brilliant of them by making it simple. This is what I do with my domains, if a five year old can read and pronounce it, hopefully remember it, I will choose that domain.
Initially the game console was using the word WE in the name to have the players being part of the system. The spelling of the Wii game console was changed to give it a more distinct element, and would brand it to connect to the Nintendo brand. The use of the Wii name has seemed to make it unique. I have also noticed that the fans of Wii are more users of the internet that PS3 or XBox 360 players. Not sure why that is.
