The name is perfect!  Girly and underpowered, just like the system.

I'll see your "girly & underpowered" and raise you a "teh tiku-tiku". I hope they launch with a third "pink"-colored Wii just so we called all bask in it's feminine glow.

Pink colored with a white light.  You do know it will sell quicker then the other versions. (Its general fact that the pink version of any remotely trendy gadget sells quickly. Also Vudu will need to get one to go with his Razr)

A Wii is not feminine. It's most decidedly masculine.

The name is still perfect for joking about homoerotica and pedophilia.

You just can't say, "I invited over the neighbor's kid to play with my wii." without setting off an amber alert for anyone in hearing range who doesn't understand the context.

Pink is awesome.  But honestly, I don't think I'd buy a Pink Wii unless I couldn't find another color on launch day.

Using those two "facts" I can therefore infer that the Wii is really a Sexual Predator.  Yes sirree it will go on the list with the rest of them and be astorcized(sp?) and shunned in the States.  It will have to regularly phone home and not be allowed near schools and other children infested areas.  The truth about the Wi-Fi is tracking so it doesn't leave its border.  On the flipside though.

Nintendo is going to lose there kid friendly image and be the home of the only console that you can openly buy Adult Games on.  You Teen, Mature, and Adult Gamers rejoice because kids can't get within 50 yards of the Wii.

Realistically speaking, the Wii is all about opening up new possibilities for games and the control schemes they use.

This same freedom being offered to developers is also being offered to the developers of adult games.

I'm sure these developers have plenty of "imagination" on the subject of Wii development as well.

Since this is the trollhouse/funhouse could SB's reply be considered thread-crapping? He's being way too serious...

To be fair, a discussion about adult games isn't exactly non-funhouse material.
