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."

    Well, believe it or not, a really terrible name can have a big impact on how great the games are. If they had named it the "Nintendo Donkey Turd," that would have a pretty negative effect on the sales of the console. And game developers really just go where the money is. If they don't expect the Donkey Turd to sell very well, then they don't expect their game to sell very well on that platform. So having a crappy name and having great games aren't completely orthogonal issues.
