I think North America is the only place that pronounces it like Paul Simon did in the famous song. Even in England, don't they pronounce it "Nee-kahn"?
It's more like "Nick - on". I was at a press conference at photokina one year at which the President of Nikon Japan berated the Americans for pronouncing it wrong. I see nothing has changed. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me when I hear "Nye - kon".
