Much like they would have probably said "Xboxes" if they had stolen a ton of 360s.

But the original XBox was discontinued a long time ago so it's not an issue....

I saw this consumer confusion coming a mile away. It's the 3DS all over again. I blame Nintendo. Just naming it the Wii 2 would have been a much better name.

i think a new name altogether would have been better

I think they're definitely trying to replicate the success of the Wii to a large extent, and calling it the Wii 2 would of been the easiest way to do that. Nobody would ask if it were some kind of addon/peripheral etc. They'd instantly know it's Nintendo's next console.
