You know, though, the name has strangely grown on me. It's different from the other consoles. Thought it is absolutely doubtless that when I do get one, I will be helpless to resist the puns myself when i invite buddies over to play. "Hey, dude, wanna play with my wii?" "Hey, I was going to invite you over this evening. I just got a wii, and it feels really nice!" "We love wii, don't we?" "I need a wii."*
Argh. Someone stop me. Still, I kinda like the name. It's not macho-sounding, like XBox (which won't be good for me, since I'm getting married and so am fated to impending wussification) or semo-retarded like PLAYSTATION 3 (yeah, the all-caps was Kutaragi's idea).**
*And it's just hard to make puns over "Gizmondo".
**Not a comment on enjoyment or quality of those two consoles. I just kinda like the name "Wii" more than the other two consoles.
