Should the Wii U be renamed?

I'm not suggesting that a fast switch would be done, but a gradual phasing out of the part by marketing in the first place.

Meaning that commercials and packaging would center around showing the front and center. So people might related to it as the U, even though the official boxname at that time would still be the Wii U.

When perception has shifted to the U as the common name, then Nintendo could quitely change the packaging or naming...
... and no one would really notice. Or care.

But people know what "Wii" is, & people know what "Nintendo" is, they don't know what "U" is.  If they changed the name to Nintendo U, or Wii 2 people would take notice, seeing it as a new thing altogether.  "A "U", what's a "U"?",  & good luck trademarking a letter.

As Pezus said, Nintendo U would be the best name to use moving forward.  It wouldn't confuse people who already are aware of the Wii U, and it would but the Nintendo brand back in the spot light.
