10 Weirdest Game Console Names Ever
Games.net has a new feature titled "Wii Are Family: The 10 Weirdest game consolelinks Names." Can you guess what recently announced console name made the list?! Here are Sid Shuman's thoughts:

We don't think Nintendo Wii is a truly terrible console name, but it's an uncharacteristically risky choice, even for Nintendo. We admire its simplicity and its playfulness (the two i's represent multiplayer action, you see). But on the flip side, parents will have a hard time pronouncing it ("Nintendo...why?") and hardcore gamers will slam it because, well, they're jerk asses. On the other hand, The Big N is often at its best when it pushes boundaries, so maybe this wasn't such a bad name after all. Good luck convincing the fanboys, though.
