As stupid as the name is... it gave them a TON of coverage... you just can't buy that kind of advertising.

You honestly think nintendo won't pull the same crap Microsoft did?

It's the oldest fucking trick in the book... it's been done for the PS2, X-Box and Gamecube (to only mention the last generation of consoles). The same shit will be pulled with PS3 and Wii. The difference being... the guys in marketing thought up the most absurd name ever... the announcement being made in the most tacky way so that everyone would be talking about it...

Smartest move EVER if you ask me.

Great way to get the counsole out in people's minds.

Anyway, It's just a name, doesn't effect what's inside of the box/

I think nintendos smartest move ever on the next gen is the price point, I am seriously thinking of buying one before a PS3, simply because I am not patient enough to save a bunch of money for a PS3 + HD-TV. I see what you mean though, on top of the Artificial shortages, they also get this extra bit of publicity. Im still waiting to see what Sony can show this year at the Pre-E3 Conferenence, only 9 more days

So.... it's one of those times where too much thought has gone into the meaning behind the name rather than just giving it something sensible
