@SpoodBeest Well, sir, "PS, PS2, PSP, PS3" is pretty damn ugly, not to mention the, "PlayStation: Vita". I dislike having numbers at the end of names, but yeah, I don't like the name either. Their explanation for it is decent, but the name itself is SUCH garbage. They really SHOULD have stuck with, "Nintendo Revolution".
As if the name "Wii" wasn't unappealing enough, they slapped a U onto it. How lame, they really should have came up with a new name.
By the way, Microsoft always has a reason behind their system names, 360 represents the 360 degrees (circle) of media: gaming, music, movies, etc. Windows XP represnts eXPerience. And yeah 360s are so cheap and are selling like hotcakes right now.

I hated the name Wii when they called it that instead of Revolution
Got over it, got used to it, and now doesn't really matter cause it's just a name anyways
The games and the system is what matters most :)
