From what I've seen of it, EVE reminds me of what Escape Velocity would be like if they implemented a 3D Engine and made it massively multiplayer.
Unfortunately, I use a Mac, so no EVE for me, or any MMORPG really, as WOW never appealed to me.
Every chat channel I've joined in today has spent all day making fun of it. Yes, it's good for advertising, but it looks like the general consensus is that most English speaking people are NOT going to go to a game shop and ask to purchase a WII!
Every chat channel is also full of in the know tech-people that would either buy or not buy the console regardless of the name. These aren't the people that Nintendo is targeting with a name like this.
"Dude, I am so tired.. I was up all night playing with my Wii."
Who would say that??
"Dude, I am so tired.. I was up all night playing (the) Wii", suddenly it doesn't sound so bad.
I must admit I was a bit attached to Revolution, but the new game is really growing on me quickly. The Big N brought up a good point about the new name : Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.
Considering most people called the Revolution "Rev", and that Revolution in Japan is something close to "??" (or German: Umdrehung), I can see that point. That and Wii just sounds fun. As in Wheee.
Of course HDTV will be phased out in 15 years and replaced by HrDTV (Higher Def TV).
Anything so the TV companies can keep us buying for years to come...

They're making a Star Trek: Enterprise game?
So they've made an Animal Crossing RPG?
So that's that secret ingredient in my Big Mac!
