You know, i have seriously entertained the idea that the relaunch of the WiiU might come with an adjusted name.
With the current logo, the is blue so it naturally sticks out. But what if they dropped the part altogether.
I'm sure many others had this same idea :P
But do you think it would be wise idea and why?
U...
Play the new U from Nintendo...
For U'r pleasure...
U-Love...
How about this simple Logo -> U:)
Update:
I'm not suggesting that a fast switch would be done, but a gradual phasing out of the Wii part by marketing in the first place.
Meaning that commercials and packaging would center around showing the U front and center. So people might related to it as the U, even though the official boxname at that time would still be the Wii U.
When perception has shifted to the U as the common name, then Nintendo could quitely change the packaging or naming...
... and no one would really notice. Or care.
Update 2:
Chris_Wing suggested Nintendo U as the new full name. Great idea.
Think about it: a commercial like this:
NIntendo U
*then u en nintendo cross*
U... Nintendo
*Then Nintendo disappears*
U:)
*then the smile blinks or something*
I liking Nintendo U already.
In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.
