No. I think such a move would be disastrous in consumer confusion. I agree the Wii U is a poor name and most people think it is a Wii add on, so rather than re name Nintendo really needs to make a big marketing push to explain it is a whole new system.

The time to adjust the name would have been at E3 last year, I can not think of a single console that re named itself after launching.
