Seriously, who thought that could be a good name for a console? Besides the obvious jokes involving bodily functions or anatomy, it doesn’t even sound like a product. PlayStation: A station you could play games at. GameCube: A box that plays games. Wii: “We… what?“

A Revolution isn’t exactly a “thing” that you can hold, but at least it had a little more power behind it’s name. And after Nintendo has spent so much time discussing this thing as the “Revolution”, it’s going to be hard for them to get people to call it something else.

I will admit to liking the idea and reasoning behind the name, but it’s still a bad choice for a name. I also liked the animation used to introduce the logo. It’s well done, and fun to watch. But still, one of the first things I thought of when hearing the name was this:

Here’s hoping that this is just an April Fools Joke that took too long to get out the door. And, as much as I dislike the name, I’ll still probably be picking one up as soon as they’re available. Just don’t ask if you can come play with my “Wii”.
