I th*t it was Nintendo Wheee ! ! Like it was SO fun, you'd exclaim out loud.

Of course, Playstation 3 isn't very creative, either. ($599 ??? You've got to be rich, or bonkers.)

Look at the last panel.

Well, the Wii's name may be silly as hell, but it sure got people talking about it--as an advertising tool, it was rather brilliant.

In case no one else has brought this up already, for alliteration, Michelle Wie would be an appropriate spokesperson for this product.

It's alright, but the name just doesn't sound right for a while, but after that you get to think to yourself, "I'm all right about it." It just actually makes you think that you are part of the game.
