Why name the console WiiU to begin with ?


brand recognition It obviously didn´t work out...at all

It is actually not the first time Nintendo did this:

GameBoy -> GameBoy Advance

NES -> SNES

It was easier then, Nintendo then, they pretty much had no equal in those markets. Since then,

SNES - > N64 -> Gamecube -> Wii

GBA -> DS

The brand is Nintendo. They named it wrong, that is what this is about. In Britian the common term for a home console (by mostly those not in the know) is/was Playstation. The common term for a handheld is 'Nintendo'. Nintendo is the brand that sells not Wii. 



Hmm, pie.
