Ninty really fucked up with the naming of the system

No matter how many times I hear this said, I still don't get it. The Super Nintendo (SNES) followed the NES without complaint or confusion. The Game Boy Advance followed the Gameboy and sold 80+ million units. The XBox 360, followed the XBox and doubled it's sales. I don't get the insistence that Nintendo did something unprecedented by not issuing a radically different name to their next-gen systems. The 3DS is over 24 million units sold without even being on the market for two years, despite the insistence by some that no one knows it's different than a DS. And Wii U is trending above 360/XBox 360 launch window sales. Are we really going to say that the average consumer (exceptions not withstanding) is so dumb that they need to be spoon-fed console names in numerical order? PlayStation 3 is not out-selling PlayStation 2, so this method does not guarrantee that you will outsell your predecessor anyway.
