I'd go for the fun weeeeee!
Here's an article I got on the namechange:
"Introducing ... Wii. As in "we." While the code-name "Revolution" expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer. Wii will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else. Wii will put people more in touch with their games ... and each other. But you're probably asking: What does the name mean?"
"Wii sounds like 'we,' which emphasizes this 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."
"Wii has a distinctive "ii" spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play. And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of video games that sets it apart from the crowd."
"So that's Wii. But now Nintendo needs you. Because, it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii. And together, Wii will change everything."
I agree with you, though. I like "revolution" a LOT better than wii.

Wii doesn't mean anything in Japanese. Nintendo changed it to Wii in order to emphasize the co-op aspect of video gaming. Wii is supposed to sound like we, as in we play together. So, when you watch the Wii commercials, all you see are a bunch of people playing together.

Haha! No, no, it's a Japanese word. I'm not sure what it means but I know that they pronounce it differently than we do. I do partially agree with you on you're opinion. I do think that they should have stuck with, "Revolution."
