I don't think I'll ever get used to seeing "Wii" in black banner across the top of games.

So why do you care if it sounds silly? Are you afraid that people will laugh at you?
Normal sentences like these that sound fine with another other console will ALWAYS sound silly.
Or do you think that people listening will think that you're talking about playing with your piss, or buying some piss, or etc.
Scenario #1
Me (to friend): Can I have a look at your Wii?
Friend: WHAAAAT? YOU SICK BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU!
Scenario #2
Me: Can I have a look at your Wii?
Friend: Well, sure you can!
/friend unzips fly
/I back away slowly
Scenario #3
Me: Can I have a look at your Wii?
Friend: Oh sure. It's right over there, under the TV. Huh huh. You said 'wee'.

Total rubbish. People can't lose a word association they've had their whole lives in six months because of Nintendo's marketing. You'll think of urine every time you say Wii because they are both nouns and people have been saying "wee" their whole lives.
"I have a Wii, do you?"
We're not all Beavis & Butthead you know. -

To be honest MD, whether jokes about wee are intelligent or moronic doesn't really have anything to do with the point.

The point is whether people will constantly associate the new console with piss or not.
They will for a long time, I think. Not forever, obviously, but people /do/ still snigger over Smeg fridges. Doesn't stop them from buying them - might even encourage them to buy them if they're of that temperment.
I probably will buy a wii and if they keep that name I will snigger an awfully long time about it. =) -

see! It's only been a couple of days, and you're starting to sound like a really unfunny uncle or something already!
Trust me, it'll wear off very quickly.
Agreed though it is starting to wear a little thin. It's still a shit name though. -
I remember hearing once that sales of Lada and Skoda cars toubled after the jokes about them became widespread... Food for thought? -
Under promise and over deliver? Have you actually used a Gamecube? Or a GBA? Or a DS? Or even an N64 for that matter?
Very much a matter of opinion and taste, but Ninty have been dissapointing me since the SNES. -

I giggle when I see a blue tit.
I laugh at Smeg fridges.
But Wii is not even funny, really.
It sounds puny, and I think that's really the only problem.
