Did you know that over the last few years, Nintendo trademarked the names "Zii," "Oii," "Cii," "Bii," and "Yii" in Japan? Well they did.
You might be thinking, "Steve! Does that mean the next Nintendo console will be called the 'Nintendo Zii' or the 'Nintendo Oii?"" To which I would reply: "Probably not."
Nintendo is probably keeping a close, legal eye on variations of the spelling of the Wii in order to make it harder for look-a-like systems to steal market share from the Wii. This is, by and large, a good thing, because I can't imagine a worse Christmas than one where you ask for a Nintendo Wii and Santa drops of a Mimtendo Bii.
