Wii are idiots

Why would Nintendo rebrand Revolution (the next-gen console codename) as 'Wii' ?

They've already built up brand recognition for Revolution. On top of that 'Wii' sounds silly. Yes, it sounds like 'We' -- but it also sounds like 'Wee'.

Consider the following scenario...

"What did you get for Christmas?"

"I gotta Wii"

Laughter ensues.

Wii should have been the code name, and revolution should have been it's actual name.

Nintendo has always targeted young children as their demographic. Just seems like more of that.
