Does anyone know why it's called the Wii?

[Tupin]

It's supposed to represent gamers coming together.

Because Nintendo is a bunch of closet perverts

[Macawmoses]

Because it sounds the same in every language.

ITT PEOPLE NOT USING WIKIPEDIA

[Judas]

Nintendo wanted something that people could recognize and remember worldwide, in any language. Also, the intuitive marketing technique of people saying "what the hell, Wii is such a dumb name" ... "wait what's a Wii" seems to have worked.

I think it means Wireless Internet Interactivity. I could be wrong though.

[OmegaPapyrus]

Because you touch yourself at night.


It was probably a marketing sheme by Nintendo. A name like "Wii" is sure to get some time on the news.

[Geno]

The Wii was named after what most people touch while they're on the internet channel.

REVOLUTION WAS A BETTER NAME.
