Bleh. They should drop the "Wii" name altogether. It has served its purpose. Simply adding "2" or "Super" is lazy, boring, and uncreative. They haven't done that since the SNES.
You may say, "but the Wii has amazing 'brand' recognition now!" However, remember that a big reason why Sony and Microsoft continue using the "Playstation" and "XBOX" brands is because those two companies have many other non-video game divisions... unlike Nintendo. Thus, ANYTHING "Nintendo" will instantly be recognized as pertaining to video games, which is not true with Nintendo's rivals (who must therefore differentiate in that respect).
The point is, Nintendo does not need to hang on to the "Wii" name to sell consoles next gen. If it's a good console, it will sell as well as the Wii regardless. |
Granted. Good point.
So this means that it could be named "Nintendo [anything]" then?
This really opens up a lot of possibilities..

Exactly. Which is why I am really excited to see what they come up with (assuming they drop "Wii," haha). Notice that "64," "Gamecube," and "Wii" are all quite different from one another, and that's why I like them; they give each unique system some character and personality.
