Nintendo changes their home consoles name every gen. I think this is bad for business. Not everyone will know that Ninty released a new console that has a totally different name. I did not know the Wii was a successor to the GCN when it first came out. This may cause people to drift away.

This is why I feel Sony and MS have such great success with their consoles in long term. Someone who bought a PS3 knows that the PS4 is its successor because it is all tied to a brand name. The difference in names may also cause confusion. Similar to what happened with the Wii U being thought of a peripheral for the Wii.

Am I saying this is the most important aspect? No, but it is important nonetheless. Nintendo needs a permanent console brand and Wii is not the answer. They need to bring back the NES and SNES names. Called the next gen NES 3 because the first and SNES or something. I prefer the NES 7 since its their 7th console. I dont knoe but they should pick sometjing cacthy and simple. And a slogan is important too. How about their original slogan: Now you re playing with power!

What do you think.


That's only ONE issue. There are many others that need adressed IF Nintendo really wants to be top dog which I'm not sure they even do. I think Nintendo wants to make profits. I may be wrong, but I don't think any home console has ever LOST money for them.
