Both the "Wii" and "DS" brands are too worn to be used again.


I disagree that the DS brand is worn. The Wii one definitely is though.

We'll have to disagree then.

We have had: DS, DS Lite, DSi, DSi XL followed by 3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS and now N3DS and N3DS XL. There's not much left they can do with the DS name anymore.

Oh it's been used a lot, but so has the PlayStation brand, yet Sony have yet to retire it. My point is simply that I think the brand "Wii" has negative connotations to a lot of people now (completely wrongly in my opinion but that's a different story). Using the Wii brand on a console I think will hurt sales. I don't think the same is true for DS is all. They could call the next one the "DS4" if they wanted, but that's probably a sworded name choice!
