The DS stuck with the name DS from its announcement.
this is a bloody huge shot in the foot, I dont know if this is true for America, but wee is a term a child uses for taking a leak, and wii sounds like wee. |

The announced like 2 months ago that the name would be different. I've known they were going to change it. |

No I said that E3 was going to suck this year back in March.
You said, "Dude, we get to see the Revolution in action."
To which I responded, "Revolution is just the design name...It'll change."
Your response, "No, it's too out there now, they won't change it."
Sorry man, you were wrong...Just admit it so I can resume my salting. |
