In Portugal, Wii actually sounds pretty cool. I really think the reactions to the name are being heavily influenced by English-speaking people/countries, because, in most countries, with most languages, Wii is actually not a bad name. Of course, after reading the comments of English native speakers, and being influenced by them as the world always is, Wii sounds bad, it's the slang for urination, and all, but (and may I add - fortunately) not all the world speaks English. I seriously doubt Japanese people reacted that way with an unbiased opinion, we're all already tainted by what English speaking people think, thank you very much. When the PSP was released in Portugal, no one asked us if we liked the name - I mean, our Police force uses the same name - "Pol?a de Seguran?P?ca" - and, despite the name being stupid in my country, no one seemed to care about it, the console sold and IS selling quite well... just let time be the judge of it.
