FRD did put the little winky guy ( Wink ), hopefully Darkflame relises he was joking.

But I do kinda agree. When you compare the names Xbox and Wii, which one feels edgier and which one feels like something your girlfriend would name her dog? If any of the females on the site read this, please let us know what you think about the name.

They wanted it ot be multi-culteral. You pronounce Wii the same in every language (or so they say).

Good point. Either they missed that, or they don't care about Germany.

Even though in Germany the "W" is pernounced "V", it will still be pronounced Wii, because it will probably be spelled diferently in German. Same with the other languages.
