E3 attention ploy?

QUOTE

Kotaku reports that Nintendo hasn't registered a trademark for its Nintendo Wii. This bubbled up from an interview Kotaku editor and Rocky Mountain game columnist Brian Crecente conducted with Steve Manning of Igor International - a branding firm. Manning believes Nintendo's Wii announcement is part of a clever viral marketing program to generate talk leading up to E3 - where Nintendo will unveil the console's official name.

The plot thickens when patent information for Wii doesn't yield a relevant response for "Wii" or any response for "Nintendo Wii."

Is it possible that Nintendo has an extra special trick up its sleeve for E3? Judging by the responses from other 1UP editors, it's a safe bet to say we're hoping. However, that doesn't mean you should get excited.

1UP-owned trademarks like GameVideos don't turn up when we search the trademark registry - so chances are it's just the trademark database hasn't updated yet (Nintendo confirmed this after press time).

Interesting theory. Wii'll just have to wait until E3 to see what happens. Like many of you, I'll likely get this system regardless of whatever it is called.
