It's silly, but not bad silly.

Wii -- it makes the "Nintendo" seem entirely respectable and unremarkable in comparison. Not just any name could do that.

I think the consensus is "Wii." I know it got good reviews at E3, and everyone's excited about it - but, it looks a little silly, and sounds a little silly. I'm not sure I'm ready for a world with two controllers. I remember back in my day when you had one, and all you were a little blue hedgehog who collected magic rings to stop and evil robot doctor. You kids and your fancy "Wii."

I think that "Enid" is, perhaps, a little more silly even than "Wii"...
