Gotta applaud Nintendo's marketing department hard efforts.

- "What should we call our new account system?"
- "Uhhh... Nintendo Account?"
- "Perfect!"

Nintendo Account is just the name for the account. Not the service. It's like saying "Facebook Account" or "Twitter Account" are bad names. They aren't what's being marketed. It's literally just the name for the new username. My Nintendo is the actual service. Nintendo Account is just the name of the login. You log into My Nintendo with yout Nintendo Account.

"Nintendo has announced its new customer reward program, named My Nintendo, which will allow users to earn points as they play games."

"Nintendo's new membership service will be called "Nintendo Account" 

I think it will need clarification down the road but it sounds like "My Nintendo" is simply the reward service ala "club Nintendo", but seeing as there is no pay wall the reward service shouldn't have to go by its own name. Quite confusing.
