I just noticed that the reason they may have called the Wii U the Wii U in the first place was so more people would pay attention to it in general. Just like naming the second playstation the playstation 2, and the handheld PSP (playstation portable). If they were to name it something else (Sony), they wouldn't have had as many people recognize what it was from its original success. PERHAPS Nintendo was thinking the same thing. I do not know, however, if that's how things would have played out in real life.
