What would you name Nintendo's next system?

What's in a name?  Give me what counts, (the inside of the console, which is) a powerful machine on par with the competition.  Remove any excuse from 3rd parties as much as possible, and the power issue would be a major one. 

If 3rd parties still don't want to bring their AAA games to Ninty, then give Retro the freedom to make a new IP  that features "realism", and that could attract the 3rd party MARKET, which in turn could attract 3rd parties again.  

Nintendo has to stop turning the other cheek and fight back, a powerful console should always be an automatic checkmark on their to-do list.  Nintendo is synonymous with games,, they should never cede any segment of the gaming market, when it is their primary business in comparison to MSony.  But if they continue this path of "weak consoles" they have to aim even lower than their launch prices and start at $199 for a NintendOnly box.

Well... There is the Wii U. Mass amounts of people have confused it with the Wii, or thought it was just a new gamepad peripheral for the Wii. That's what's in a name. 

Third parties have been ignoring Nintendo for a long time. The Gamecube was near the high end of the market for power and it didn't encourage any extra third party support. 

I'm amazed people still have this idea that the Wii U isn't a powerful system. In comparison to a PC, it isn't. In comparison to the X1 and PS4 it's not that far behind. In comparison to the PC, the PS4 and X1, aren't powerful either. This is only the second system that has been a "weak console" as you say. There was the Wii, and the Wii U. Before that Nintendo has always been mid range to high end for power.
