Wii U may be one of the dumbest names for a console in console gaming history. I remember when it first was announced some people thought the tablet was an add-on for the original Wii. Nintendo should build a brand and just up the number with every new console like Sony does with PlayStation.


this! it was absolutely confusing for a casual gamer, you think Wii and associate the original system with motion controls and then see this expensive tablet controller and it just makes zero sense. 

     I think they were taking the easy road in terms of names. you can't just use a successful name from a previous generation and automatically generate success
