The name is terrible... To this day I know a ton of people (who own a Wii, presumably part of the audience the Wii U was going for, hence the name) who still believe the Wii U is a tablet add-on like the U-Draw tablet for the Wii... Who ever thought the Wii U was a good name when making it is a fucking idiot. That being said, Nintendo didnt even try that hard to change that perception to the casual audience; there's only 1 Wii U commercial Ive seen (Tropical Freeze I think) where a kid says the Wii U is a new system :p
