    Poeple always come in and hardly ever call the Wii the "wee"
    They always say the "W, I, I" the "W.2", or the "WHY"

    Wii means We as in Us, hence it bein a family/group console

    Anyone else notice this???

    i always call it the 'why', as thats how it seems it should be pronounced, and most people had been reading it for ages without hearing how its meant to sound. If its meant to be pronounced 'we', they should have called it the We(e)

    Plus calling it the 'why' replaces misunderstandings in which gamestop employees end up urinating on you.
