How is the wii game-console pronounced?

Postby Arneb » Mon Jul 23, 2007 10:32 am

O.K., so English is hell for pronounciation, and stylish test-tube names don't make it easier. With this game console, I am at a complete loss. How is this thing pronounced?

Your closest was Wee-ee, but all the advertising I've seen and heard just calls it wee, as in "Look at that wee little man!"

There's an in-joke on a certain other board that depends on Wii being pronounced "wee". As in, what a certain poster there does behind the couch. :lol:

Hitler was extremely clever, but downing the PS3 wasn't necessary.

Dunno why I didn't see the first video until just now. Not everyone thinks the Wii gal is their type, although the Playstation comes off sounding awful snobby. :lol:
