I cant take this anymore, i have to get this off my chest. I never thought it come to this.. but all i can say now is nintendo is FINISHED. No one but the hardcore N fans will buy it. It is the first console in history that has a name no one wants to say or is too embarrased to say. Most people would be too embarrassed to ask for one at the store. Most casual players would immediately write it off as being "***". This is nintendo's last console.
It seemed REVOLUTION had everything going for it. Cheap dev costs, cheap price, cool design, tons of exclusives, tons of 3rd party support, and a GOOD NAME. But for all of you that think that its only a name and that it wont affect the console's success, WRONG. 90% of People wont buy it anymore with a name like Wii, which will lead to less sales, which will lead to devs abandoning it becuase they wont make enough money due to a small fanbase, which will lead to nintendo sitting in the bottom of the barrel once again.
And Nintendo's failure this up coming gen wont just be becuase of the name, it will also be becuause Nintendo doesnt listen to their fans. They don't seem to care what we want, and only now am I aware of that. I mean, even when IGN told perrin kaplan that there were numerous pettitions to get the name Revolution back, she just said "deal with it". A company who depends on their fanbase for sales shouldn't jeopradise that.
If you think that im the only one who cares about this, ask people at your school or work or whatever the case may be about the name, I can guarantee you they will either say "WTF?!?" or "***, im not buying it then, thats retarded". I know becuase those are the responses that i got from everyone in four different classes, and these are mostly casual gamers or non gamers (which is who nintendo is trying to get to buy it). So it looks like Nintendo has just lost the audience they were targetting and some of their fanbase, like me. Not just becuase of the name, but because they treat us like crap, and expect us to buy whatever they throw at us.
Im not supporting Nintendo in any shape or fashion anymore. I am seriously considering not getting a Wii (ill never call it that unless forced to) which is a big deal becuase it was the console that had me the most excited for any console ever. I would rather take sony's empty promises and lies or microsoft's BS then the stupidity and screwing over fans Nintendo does.
Now devs wont take it seriously and will abandon it. All this 3rd party support will wear thin in about four months, mark my words.
So my last words as a Nintendo Fanboy is this, forget you Nintendo, you ruined what could have been the next snes in terms of a game library and screwed over me, one pf your truest fans for the last time, I and many others will never support you again.
What a stupid company. :S
