Alright, I'll comment.

The truth is this naming thing will always throw up these issues. It was bound to happen. For it to still be happening is a concern, however, especially from mainstream media. Nintendo has never once marketed the Wii U as a portable Wii; people see second screen and assume portable. This is a problem I have witnessed first-hand. Whilst looking at the Wii U section of a local games store one person came in, tried the demo kit and bought the console.

However, the consumer initially thought the Wii U was just a Wii accessory and was stunned to discover it was a new console. They even did research online into it after seeing the adverts. Perhaps the branding was just too similar; and with Wii adverts for games like JD4 still airing, it's understandable.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

lol that's actually kinda funny (the reporting not the theft).

They should of went for Wii2 or WiiHD or WiiTouch or some other name all together. But I do think WiiU is very meh and simply doesn't flow well.

The joke is they will not even be able to sell them for full price on ebay. Bwahahaha. Ehhhh........


Well, that shouldn't be a big deal. Even if they sold them at half price they would still make one million dollars profit :P



I swear I was making a thread about "10 things that will happen during the Wii U launch" and I swear I was going to write that a shipment of consoles would be hijacked. This happens every time a home console launches!

On another note, I remember when I first started working for the Sheriff's dept. And somebody reported an RCA Playstation stolen. I was just a dispatcher and I kept telling the investigator that there IS NO SUCH THING as an RCA Playstation. Only Sony makes it! He logged it into the computer and when it accepted it, he looked at me like some sort of idiot as if to say, "I told you so!" It pisses me off to this very day!

I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

... Lol. :D

Lol, that reminds me so much about when the gamecube was subcontracted to IBM to make the processor, and my friend told me that it was apple that was behind the gamecube. I tried to tell him that he was confused with the apple cube, even showed him the IBM logo in the corner of the gamecube box, but he didn't believe me either way.

Story of my life



Let me guess Sony (which is broke) could not afford to buy a WiiU to copy the wireless "latency free" display technology for their future console and thats why they stole the consoles xD? JK
