Rumor: Wii Not the Real Name?
In an interview with Steve Manning, a big dog at Igor International, a company who named The Signature at MGM Grand and MTVs URGE, it is revealed why he thinks Nintendo has released a fake name for their new system.
"Allowing your audience to vent is not SOP [standard operating procedures] in a name announcement, and also telegraphs that Nintendo knows what a stinker this name would be." He also says "Its not possible to engineer a worse name for this product."
Another point, which could be the biggest giveaway of all with this whole story, is the fact that Wii has no registered trademarks. Not with Nintendo, not in the US, not in Japan. One of us could potentially trademark the name right now. If Wii was the real system name, wouldn't the trademark have been snatched up months ago, or at least at this point after announcing it? "This leads us to conclude that Nintendo has in fact registered the real name under a dummy corp, which is SOP when trying to keep a name secret prior to launch."
With "Wii", Nintendo is obviously creating a new buzz, and they hope it is enough to bring people into the name. People will hear the name, look it up, and find more about it. After all the buzz regarding the name simmers, E3 will be the chance for the real Revolution name to be announced.
Well bring you all the details on this rapidly growing rumor as it becomes available.
Aber warum lese ich den von Mog das es der Name Wii nicht sein wird ?
