I was impressed with every game system they had until the Gamecube came out. The disadvantages far outweighed the advantages with that system: Smaller disc, lack of a cd/dvd drive... I didn't like it. The gameplay was solid though, and the graphics as well. Nintendo needs to focus on compatibility and versatility if they want to get my gaming buck.

(which doesn't even have as much meaning - except it sounds "lively" [rhymes with Live, as in Lively]) however i still think it sounds bad. i mean, "Whee" just isn't the sound of a popular console name. you could say gameboy is a stupid name in terms of meaning, but at least the *sound* of it is not stupid. like lloyd said, "wii" just sounds silly. that is still true for me. i actually do agree with its symbolism and its connection with the direction Nintendo is going with Revolution. i think it’s great. in fact it is a much better use of “ii” than Intel’s Viiv. some people actually think Intel first registered the trademark for Viiv for dual core processors (look at the symmetry to symbolize two cores, and it means 6 4 in roman numerals so it means 64-bit processors, or could possibly mean pentium 6), i think this could even be true but Intel didn’t want to name it Viiv later on and just gave the name to that digital home entertainment stuff.
