Nintendo UK Defends the Wii

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the shields-up dept.

GamesIndustry.biz is running a story defending the Wii from across the pond. Nintendo's UK boss David Yarnton has nothing but good words for the new name for the Revolution. From the article: "It's like any new name ... it takes a while to get established. I think that you'll find that in not even six months, in a short period of time, people will accept it; they won't be referring to Revolution or next-generation, it'll just be Wii."

    Honest question. Why are gamers such a linguistically challenged bunch that they have to misappropriate a word with a rich history and a universally accepted definition in order to refer to the simple concept of sidestepping?
