I will usually just call it a "controller". No sense in undoing 12 years of a video-gaming habit.

Controller. I really dislike stupid word-shortenings, and I've never liked the Wii's name anyway. Go from something decent like the Revolution to Wii just because you're trying to attract grandmas, christ. They should've just made another version to target that market. I mean, I'd buy a boat to travel on water. I don't need a car that turns into a boat. I like it when companies actually address my tastes and interests, instead of lumping me together with all the other *******s as "consumers".

*thanks*

Also, thanks to whoever put in the third option.
I don't know anyone personally who calls them controllers, so... thanks.

Wiimote.

The 360 and PS3 are worthy of being called "controllers".

WiiMotes or Wii Remotes, it's random what I call it. I don't care enough to choose one religiously.

The 360 and PS3 have totally failed to improve the video game controller since the mid 90's. Thanks, 360 and PS3. I love you too.
