People need to stop hyping the NX, it will lead to disappointment.

When retailers literally have to put up signs explaining that Wii & Wii U are different devices with different games than it is undeniable that the marketing/name/design of the console were flawed. Consumers not knowing what your product is isnt an insignificant thing.

Not my point. My point was that if the consumer is actually interested in a product, they will buy it no matter what (the name, etc). The xb1 clearly proved that. It seems that no that many people were interested in wiiu since those signs didn't help that much, now did they? What seems to be the case is that people would ask clerks what the hell wiiu was, not that they had an interest in buying one after finding out.

XB1 doesnt prove anything, Microsoft dropped  Kinect, reduced the price by about 1/3 within a year while also having further temporary discounts, they have constant marketing along with timed exclusives/exclusive marketing/exclusive bundles from many of the biggest games on the market and it has a constant stream of software.

If Nintendo dropped the Gamepad, cut the official price of Wii U to $199 within a year, had a constant stream of software, year round advertising and exclusive marketing/bundles for games like Madden, FIFA, Fallout, Division than it would certainly be doing much better.
