On the mostly UK gaming forum I go to, the Wii thread reached 40 pages, with lots of wii jokes... (that's where those images I posted came from... :))
But I think that it's just a big deal here... just with the additional connotation of 'childish'. EXACTLY the thing Nintendo is trying to get away from.
See that's what doesn't make sense. Nintendo specificly said that they wanted to choose a name that didn't mean anything in any language. So they chose a word that means small and insignificant in Scotland, urine in the US, yes in French, ugh somewhere else (Canada I think), in addition to the fact that it just sounds, as you said, childish and toylike.
