HELP ME HERE!

did I just find one of those ignorant americans people have been talking about in this thread?

Maybe, I am American, but I disagree with the first part.  I honestly think that with the DS iterations and the Wii line they have totally confused the average consumer.

I sense a self-absorbed Brit. Totally agreed with JOKA, Wii U and the DS iterations have confusing names. 2DS sounds like a precursor to the 3DS to the casual gamer, and true gamers obviously won't buy it because of the fact that it's a gimped 3DS. Wii U sounds like an add-on to the Wii rather than a new console, and I think the confusion this has caused casuals is part of the reason why the Wii is still outselling it on a week-to-week basis.
