Nintendo has finally lost it

[Payndar Circusdorf]

I cannot believe these people.

1) The Revolution is backwards compatible with the Cube.
2) The Revolution has downloadable games dating back to the NES.
3) The Revolution has a fantastic controller that, well, revolutionizes everything, to such a degree that EA has announced that Madden games will have you making pass motions as if throwing a football.

YET

4) The damn thing just got renamed to the Nintendo Wii.

Yes, the Wii. Pronounced "Weeeeee." As in "Wee-wee." As in only half as good as that thing that most gamers play with more than anything else.

WTF is a Wii?

Hopefully Nintendo of America will call up Japan and tell them to scuttle that. Real quick.

That is the dumbest thing ever.

Kid: Mom I'm going to go up to my room and play with my Wii.

Mother: (I had to have the special child)

I see more jokes about this then when I have meetings about backing up databases useing the word "dump" liberally.
