Nintendo Wii's got two i's, so they should make double fortune. Right? Tossing in a W is probably a little on the wasting side however. It would be much better to just stick with just the ii. Imagine gamers going around saying "ii" when talking games. That would certainly take away the giik-stamp for good.
According to the American Diabetes Association there are about 20 million diabetics in the U.S alone. That equals about 7-8% of the population and the problem is only growing.
As it may seem to naive souls that Nintendo is doing this out of pure and beautiful goodness, dollarsigns also tends to light up the hearts of Nintendo shareholders. IF they get kids to follow-up their bloodsugarlevels with this its not only good money, but also good PR.
