Nope. The stigma of the Nintendo and Gamecube name would be too hard to overcome. People associate Nintendo with Mario, teh kiddeh, and hardcore Nintendo fans. Not casual, approachable and a console for everyone. Why do you think they are emphasizing the Wii brand instead of Nintendo? It is officially called the "Wii", not the "Nintendo Wii". Why do you think they used Miis instead of Mario and friends in Wii Sports? Mario isn't prominent in any Wii commercials and marketing .at all They even have commercials airing now emphasizing the Miis, their newest cash cow. When you say "Wii", people think of the "Wii". Not Nintendo. Not Gamecube. The Wii.
