| Norris2k said: "Wii" was already a shitty name and it sold a lot. I don't think IPod was a fantastic name either and it sold so much. No one made a confusion like "ipod, ipad, is it the same ? I can't buy it because I'm not so sure". Name doesn't matter, what matter is having a product that is clear, supported, appealing, at a correct pricing, new, has buzz, and/or is supported by excellent ads... |
No one was confused because Apple dumped hundreds of millions into advertising the difference (which they do quite efficiently), whereas Nintendo does not have that kind of capital to do so. Hence a system like the Wii U would have sold substantially better if it was simply branded Wii 2. The causal audience who purchased the Wii would have been able to distinguish the difference.
