 "Wii May Undergo Name Change?")
An interesting rumor regarding the Wii sprung up today and it seems Nintendo may change the name of their next-generation console, if certain credible sources (cough*internet rumors*cough) are to be believed.

In a recent survey conducted by Nintendo, they found out that nearly 62% of gamers wouldn’t buy the console because they thought it sounded extremely childish (Just wait for the new Resident Evil or Red Steel).

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now. see more
