If Nintendo had kept the alias "Nintendo Revolution" instead of using the name "Wii", do you think that the Wii would have differed in any way than it is now?

Well Nintendo couldn't have had as many puns or the Wii would like to play commercials.

the only difference would be the name and no "play with my wii" jokes.

It probably would have been aimed at the hardcore audience.

it would never have gotten the publicity that it has gotten, since when you hear "nintendo revolution" you'd just be like, oh another console
but "nintendo wii" it's like wth?!?!? what did they name that?

I agree with you 100%. Yea, when we first heard the new name, it was horrible. Well.... it still not great, but it was a smart move on Nintendo. Yes, their were millions of puns about it, but it got people talking. It was unique, and totally insane. The media would have completely ignored it if it was sill canted the Revolution. Think about it; do you hear the media talking about the 360 or PS3? (I'm not bashing them; I love all the consoles. :)) No, you don't because they're just "another console".
