They named the new xbox, one. That is stupid but it is selling and at the rate it is going it will probably outsell the wii u just like the ps4 is doing. So it is less the name more the features it does not have.

Well lots of people are aggressive. Remember Hiter?!

He'd be fine. Nintendo games have plenty of legs to spare.

Remember the Wii Stream rumors that were going around?

I think it would sell a lot better. PSVita also could have better sales if it had another name in my opinion, I know some people that think it is some health product.

It would be sitting at 20 million in sales, and all 3rd party games would have been developed from the ground up on its architecture. Yeahhhh.......that's what would have happened. Prove me wrong, bra!

Not much would have happened. I'm still of the belief that the name wasn't that big of an issue.

Not at all.

"Super Nintendo" was fine but "Super Wii" sounds ridiculous to me; like something a kindergartner would come up with. Not that WiiU is a whole lot better but at least the "U" logo looks pretty cool.

"Wii HD" has the best ring to it but it just would've caused confusion so "Wii 2" was the way to go, not just for the name but for the whole direction. If Nintendo had just launched a "Wii 2" for $249 with a Wiimote/nunchuck/pro controller and later introduced the Gamepad separately with a game for $89 (Balance Board style) they would be in a much better place right now regarding both sales and profits.

It should have had a different name...even Wii 2 would have been better. Just so that the average consumer would know that it's a totally NEW console...not just an attachment for the Wii (a system which had a ridiculous number of attachments so it's not surprising that they would just think the gamepad was a tablet add-on like the U-Draw). I worked in electronics at Walmart for a long time, and it was AMAZING the amount of confusion that already existed between DS and 3DS (don't even get me started on 2DS...SO glad I had already left to avoid having to try and explain THAT)...and what the difference was and which games worked for which system. It took a long time before people stopped asking stupid questions because of that naming fiasco (never mind the very similar game cartridge cases). So you think Nintendo would have learned...but no, they did an even WORSE naming. Thankfully I only worked at Walmart for like eight months after the Wii U came out...but the majority of people thought they could buy NSMBU for their Wii, or that the gamepad was an optional tablet. They would be SHOCKED at the price, asking why it was so expensive, not realizing it was a brand new system. It was just such a blunder. As Wii gets phased from shelves like DS did, it will help and get a little better, but there's no doubt in my mind that it significantly lowered Wii U's chances right out of the gate.
