There were perhaps 5 people on the planet that actually thought the Wii U was an accessory to the Wii.
Calling it Wii U actually probably helped sales, Nintendo were trying to cash in on visibility of the Wii Name.
The problem was the novelty of the Wii had already faded and the gimmick off the Wii U (The pad) didn't hit the same notes with the consumers.
The Wii U could of been a decent success, selling 60+ millions
1. Release a year to 18months earlier
2. Release without the expensive novelty pad, which would of cut the launch price of the console $100
