It is relevant. The name "Wii" meant jack shit in the very next gen. Where was all the recognition for the Wii name? Lots of people must have thought the Wii-U sucked. Sucked soooooo hard that it's suckiness, was able to counteract it's strength in the field of placard recognition. As for your personal tastes regarding Wii v PS3, fair enough. |
Wii U is not the Wii. The PS Vita was also a spectacular failure despite bearing the Playstation name.
Show people placards of Wii and PS3 in the streets and you'd be lucky if 50% recognized the PS3. But probably 80% would know the Wii from the years where it was everywhere, on TV, at family gatherings, where it was the white hot new thing everyone wanted. And the fact that millions more people owned one than owned a PS3.
