what does wii stand for?

Answer 1

orginally it was called revolution before they changed it to wii. I think wii is just associated with fun, like when you're in a car and then your stomach drops out like on a roller coaster or something, ppl usually say "wee" or in this case "wii"

this is what nintendo says...Nintendo spells "Wii" with two lower-case "i" characters meant to resemble two people standing side by side, representing players gathering together, as well as to represent the console's controllers. The company has given many reasons for this choice of name since the announcement; however, the most well known is:

“ Wii sounds like 'we', which emphasizes that the console is for everyone. Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.[14]

Answer 2

The letters don't stand for anything, but wii means 'we' as in us!
The Wii console has been developed as a social machine that can be used by all ages!

It's great too, you should get one!

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

Wii doesn't stand for anything. When put into ordinary characters (letters, etc.) it is Japanese for 'we' as in us. This is because the Wii was designed to be a multi-player console and to keep peole healthy by getting them to exersize while still having fun at the same time.

Answer 5

Pronounced like "we" (or "whee," I suppose), the name is meant to emphasize that "this console is for everyone," Nintendo said in a flash video which introduced the name change.

"The other systems have an extension of their current names; ours is a new leap to something different," Perrin Kaplan, Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Affairs for Nintendo of America, told me. "A lot of thought went into the name."

"Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak," the company said in its flash presentation of the name. "No confusion. No need to abbreviate."

The unusual spelling is meant to symbolize both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play.

It doesn't stand for anything. Wii is supposed to sound like "we" which implies people playing together. The double i's in the name are supposed to also symbolize multiple people playing together.

It doesn't actually stand for anything - it's not an acronym or anything (otherwise it would be written w.i.i). No, from what I understand it's just the Japanese trying to come up with a unique name to emphasis it's good points, in particular it's wiireless application.
