CNN is reporting “Nintendo drops Revolution, renames next gen console Wii” and I’m asking, WTF? Is this branding by committee? Look, I know I don’t buy a console by its name or its looks.  I buy it for the games.  But for the love of a joystick Nintendo had battled the asinine kiddie label all through out the life cycle of the Gamecube so why would they pick a name like Wii. Now, I’ll have to wade through even more 13 year old hater crap just to get news on happenings over at Nintendo. Thanks Nintey!
