The Wii U's Name Isn't The Problem

It's a problem because the Wii died. 4 years ago it was hip and popular but today it's seen as a dead console for babies. By simply having Wii in Wii U's name a lot of the "HD bros" are turned off. On top of that most people thinking it's an add on also think "my kid/I moved on from the Wii along time ago. I'm going to waste more money on it." These people will not even get as far as seeing a price since they aren't interested in Wii. That doesn't mean they wouldn't be interested in a new $300 console.

Perhaps. At the same time, I ask whether someone who has "moved on from the Wii" would consider the sequel that interesting. Some might, but I don't see it as sort of a broad reaction.

Um no. We moved on from the wii because motion control sucked and Nintendo stopped making games for it a few years ago. How the heck would that translate to not finding the next gen system interesting?
