Let's think of the four most random words we can think of: Linburger Cactus Electromagnetic Raven Then, you mix the words together: Linnactromagnten Shorten it and make it more appealing: Lintro And then come up with a completely different word and name it that: Panther

It will probably have some BS symbolic meaning like wii does, and be equally unpronounceable to the japanese. Here's another question - what will Nintendo's next portable console be called?

It will be called a Wii as well. Accept this one will be a Pocket Wii with it's launch game Pocket Pool.

It was my understanding that Wii was chosen because it was easy to pronounce in all cultures, unlike Revolution.

Yeah, but it won't be in HD because Nintendo will still be stubborn.

Well, many people thought the Wii was going to be called "GameCube 2" or something like that, so I'm guessing that the next console will have a more simple term like "Go". If not, then I don't know.

well, it's not like japanese people have differently shaped mouths to the rest of us and find it physically impossible to pronounce the name 'wii'. But they're not used to it because there are no words in the japanese language which use the sound 'wee' nor is there a letter for it. It's like Arnie trying to say 'three thousand'.

I think Nintendo's pronunciation idea was that wii would be pronounced the same way in every culture -  once they managed to pronounce it at all.

I could go with the obvious, WiiWii.... but here's what I would really go with. Wii Too, a play on words for the sequel Wii 2.

I highly doubt it'll be the "Wii 2/Wii Too/Wii Two", unless it's Japanese name is something else entirely. I'm sure someone on this board said this before, but.... '2' in Japanese is 'Ni.'

So if we were to say Wii-....... well you get the idea. Probably not going to happen.

What are you, eight? It makes sense...

Well anyway, I'm hoping the come up with a really good name like Sgea used to.

When you really think about the words alone, Xbox, Playstation, and Gamecube are all childish names. Not that I'm bashing anything, but they are names a kid would come up with. Wii at least had a concept behind it's name, rather than naming it after its appearance. Sega had names like Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast that were just fantastic console names, imo.

The code name will be something bad-ass like "Apocolypse"...

...the console's real name will be something completely retarded and unexpected like "Moe"

Case in point:  Revolultion sounded better than Wii
