You're right Carl, the name is important, without the Wii in the title, it won't sell as well, the Wii is worth millions on its own, and with everything except music, becomes a sales amplifier.
The reason is in the positional relationship of the ii's to the W, it creates a massive win loop
PS3 on the other hand declines sales, which is why they needed slim, without slim PS3 creates a loss loop, but slim is in fact a loss inhibitor, but still lacks a win loop, it should be renamed PS3 slim Wii if it wants to win

Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
