Wikipedia says Table Tennis and Ping Pong are the same thing. What's the deal, Jonny?

I'm in college and use wikipedia all the time, though not on any homework, or anything. It's great to learn about pop-culture and things of that nature. You end up walking away knowing more on the subject than you did before, even if there may be a few things incorrect.

Being a retired pro of table tennis ( I played for 15+ years.) I believe I can answer this. We call Table Tennis the "real"sport. Meaning the high level competition that it's very well mimic in the Rockstar Table Tennis game. The game is more fast paced, more physical and mentally challenge than ping pong.On the other hand ping pong is the recreational part of the sport. Probably most of you have played ping pong because it's what mainstream here in the Americas and in the latin side of the world. In Asia and Europe Table Tennis is cosidered a real sport, with leagues like the ones you see here for baseball,football baskettball etc. I remember going on debates with friends that ping pong and table tennis where the same thing but believe me when you see it as I try to show everyone you start to respect the sport more and they call it Table Tennis after they realize this. I am proud everytime I can change ppls mind of not calling it ping pong. Als ping pong is a brand of products for Table Tennis, and it's also the sound the ball makes when it bounces off the table.
As for the game coming to the Wii, I am very excited and can't wait to play with my friends and family and remember the great memmories I had of this great sport that anybody can play. I encourge you all to check out the International Table Tennis Federation to check out the top players of the world @ITTF. One interesting note: Table Tennis entered the Olympics before Baseball.

ZIIIIIING!
I'm glad there are people out there who hate baseball as much as I do. Well technically I only hate the slow ass pace; everything else is pretty cool.
I'm die-hard Cura ( 'COO'-'ra': arabic for soccer) fan.

I really enjoy Baseball** and its "slow pace" as an in person spectator sport. Bring good company and it can be a really fun time.
I might as well weigh in on everything else as well. Football is a TV Sport for me. Hockey I can't get into. Golf is nice scenery and somewhat calming. Tennis is always interesting. Rugby makes a great Videogame. Racing if its just on an oval I can't really get into it; I need variety. Though to say in all actuality I'm not really a die-hard fan of any of these. Really casual actually.
*To clarify on the Soccer its not that the actual game itself is slow. Quite on the contrary. Its just the pace between major events is slow, sudden, and infrequent. I look away for a second to mention something or to get some food and someone makes a goal. Then I'm back to watching ball management.
** Though I prefer Minor league because it is less mechanical and people make mistakes.
