No joke. It was sounding like a cool system. But I won't buy it now.

They're going to change the name.

Did they bother market testing this? Time to collect some heads from the marketing department.

I'm not longer buying it lest my heterosexual tendancies be threatened by a piece of plastic.

Heh, if the name meant anything to the actual games that will be played on the system I might have cared.

Other than that, I, as well as many others I would assume will still think of it as the Revolution, but I see the reasoning behind it, it does acctually have meaning, I personally wouldent name a system that myself.

I'll still play Red Steel on my "Wii", whoever wont buy the system because of the name can come to this forum to read me rave about it all day. :wink:

To be honest I think if they do stick to this name it will pass over eventually. I just hope people around the world today are more intelligent than to not purchase something based on the name it was given.

In other news, got my DS lite from Japan, in like 3 days shipping the other day for about 200 total... omg.

Yeah, "Game Boy" was such a good name. Oh wait, "Xbox". Woa.

Why not call it "Slightly improved graphical capability and mostly the same games remade system mk. 4?"
Organic Superlube? Oh, it's great stuff, great stuff. You really have to keep an eye on it, though--it'll try and slide away from you the first chance it gets.

If anything the Revolution is the only possible next gen console that won't just be that.

Great, just what you pedos need...

Wii fan: "Hey kids who wants to play with my wee-wee?"

Cop: "What!?"

Wii fan: "Uh... But I was only talking about my Wii!"

Cop: "Complete with vibrating phallic controller! Wow! This is so not gay at all!"
