Revolution.
What I plan to buy?
The Revolution
If I have enough money
Xbox 360
If someone gave it to me for free + games and I didn't have the option of a Xbox 360 revolution or an Atari
PS3

ok, i see why a lot of people don't like the name change, but i also see where nintendo is coming from with it. It was our good friend, Reggie, who said at the press confrence when talking about the change to the Wii name that he would like to thank people who liked it the first day it was announced. "All two of you," he added.
Anyways, Nintendo's reason for the name Wii:
" Introducing... Wii.
As in "we."
While the code-name Revolution expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer. Wii will break down that wall that seperates videogame 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 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.
Wii has a distinctive "ii" spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people playing it. And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of videogames 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. "
but on the bright side, there are some really cool acronyms for Wii:
Wireless Interactive Interface
Wii invented innovation
Wacky illegal immigrants
Wondering in Istanbul
Where is Iwata???
Whimsical Inscription Indeed
Woefully Intelligent Icon
Windows Introduced Idiocy
We Ignite Idiots
We is intelligent
...and if all else fails...
Win it illegally
but then again, those are just for fun. so Morgan, and anybody else, if you still want to call it the revolution, that's fine by me.
But my predictions for this new generation are
1. Nintendo Wii (priced extremely well, excellent Nintendo quality, innovation, awesome controller, FUN, free online, all downloadable games from NES, SNES, N64, and select games from sega, good graphics, the wificonnect24 feature, TONS of exclusive titles and first party games, plus 3rd party developers are loving it b/c it's cheaper to make games for)
2. Xbox 360 (great graphics, good online [at a fee], sorta expensive, but nowhere near the price of ps3, and some people will buy it for the sole purpose of Halo 3)
3. PS3 (mad expensive, and the controller, just ugh. the only thing that i see that it has going for it are its graphics and power. but you can't live off just good graphics, the games have to be fun as well. plus, i can see many of the third party games for ps3, since sony doesn't make first party games, being ported to the xbox 360. )
and in the handheld market, I believe that things will stay as they are, DS>PSP.
