the wii wasnt codenamed "revolution" just cuz it sounded pretty...and if sony and microsoft know whats good for them, they'll stop brushing off nintendos significance and actually consider them a real competitor...

Wow, so nearly ten million people own a Wii! It's cool to think that there are 10,000,000 other people in the world playing their little white box! And double wow, close to 50,000,000 DSs! (man, how the hell do you add a plural to ds? )

It's funny. All the code names for the previous Nintendo consoles I've preferred instead of the actual name, like "Revolution" and "Ultra 64". Gamecube's name wasn't that great: "Dolphin".

They had a good bit on this last night on Level 3 (Channel 31 Melbourne). They said that nintendo was expecting to tap into the non gaming market, but research have shown that Wiis are being bought and played by seasoned gamers.
