If Wii U had a different name would sales be higher?

Wii u is a very confusing name.

It's too similar to the original name Wii.

Sales would be much higher if the console had a different name.

Kind of like the United Kingdom. If the United Kingdom would just use a different name, then people wouldn't confuse them as being part of the United States all the time.

 Wii and Wii u

Is the same as Playstation and Playstation u

It's almost the same and it's very confusing,

Sony was smart enough to call their new console playstation2 and not playstation u

When sony released playstation 2 i immediately knew sony has a new console.

When Nintendo released Wii u i thought it is a peripheral and not a new console.

You can be sure many buyers also got confused and didn't buy the console because of that.
