The Wii U may be dead, but... who cares?

I think Wii-U had a much better run than most most hardware that has sold that poorly. I mean, even with the low numbers, it got some great software. I stand by that I think Nintendo's biggest mistake was keeping Wii in the name, without calling it the Wii 2.

This is true. Iwata himself wanted to keep the name in order to generate a strong brand like for example Samsung Galaxy. People don't say they own a Samsung, but rather a Galaxy S/7/6/whatever. He thought he could ride a similar wave. I also think it was a mistake, but I could never blame him for trying. The idea had a certain potential to work out.

 If they had called it Wii 2, I think it wouldve worked. Wii-U seems to suggest an expansion to the older Wii's.
