Oh

P.S. don't sound shocked at the change, we knew the Revolution was a code name for the product since the day it was first rumored

I promised myself I wouldn't read the comments, and yet here I am, angry as anything, because I do believe that some of you have missed the point. Let me start off by saying that this is my opinion on it, so if you disagree, you're allowed, go ahead and argue. Alright, first off all you crazy joystiq fanatics I think if you really want to see a sane perspective on this, try branching out and reading a pretty good summary over at Wired I understand you guys feel hurt by the change, but you have to realize that for the most part, You are a small percentage of the possible game buying population, and with Wii, Nintendo appears to be making a break for the non-gamer market. You see here's the thing, with the game-cube (despite my fanboyishness I'll admit defeat in that system) Nintendo lost a LOT of standing in the gamer world (and in the stock world as someone already pointed out). Now, at least as far as my theory is concerned, they're trying to reach out beyond the gamers by using a system name that, for once, doesn't make someone think of a 25 year old in their parents basement. Don't get me wrong, I love video games, but if you want the hardcore gaming look to your PC's, your 360's, and your PS 3's. Tell me I'm wrong, but read that article first, and try to look past your own buying market and understand why Nintendo may be leaving you in the proverbial dust.
