Ever since the SNES, Nintendo has changed the name of their home systems.  They went from SNES to Nintendo 64 to Gamecube to Wii.  Based on this, why the heck is "Wii 2" being used as the name for the next Nintendo system?  Actually has Nintendo with ANY of their systems did what Sony did with the Playstation brand, and go PS2, PS3?
