What disgusts me the most of ActionAL's unconstructive criticism is his implication of a rather outdated stereotype that women don't/can't play video games. In today's video game market, more women play games now then in the predominately male-oriented industry of twenty years past. http://biz.gamedaily.com/industry/feature/?id=1242 4/ On another note, even though Nintendo Wii is a rather odd name, changing it again would be a disaster as the dubious name has created a huge amount of publicity for Nintendo. I don't think Revolution would have created as much word-of-mouth marketing (the 'golden egg' of marketing) as Wii has. Besides, it doesn't matter about the name as most people know that Nintendo makes great gaming consoles and the name Wii isn't going to circumvent it. BTW, speaking of names... ActionAL???... what are you a porn star?!
