| Metallicube said: The confusion of "U" vs "2" might have sold a few more consoles, but it would be a largely insignificant difference. The average consumer is a lot smarter than most here give them credit for, especially when it comes to games. The primary reason for the Wii U's failure is not the marketing/name, it's not even really the controller at the end of the day; it's the games. And as of now anyway, Wii U's library resembles more of the niche style Gamecube games than it does the mass market/old school style Wii games that made the Wii such a hit. |
I talked with my one roommate about WiiU the other day. He is a big Nintendo fan. Has a Wii, still has a Gamecube and an N64 and most of the big first party games. Loves Smash. When I told him the new Smash would be on WiiU he gave me a weird look and said "isn't that just the controller?" I realize he's not the hardest of cores for not knowing that but the confusion is STILL there even with people who like Nintendo.
