If Software sells Hardware why Wii U flopped

I don't care what anyone says, there is one reason and one reason only that the Wii U bombed. The name was EXTREMELY confusing and people didn't know it was a new console. My hardcore gaming friend from my childhood was CONVINCED it was just a new controller for the Wii. And he's a gamer!

Now take all those parents, kids, and grandparents that were Wii owners. If a hardcore gamer found it confusing, they don't stand a chance. Humans are silly and don't do research on things (one of the reasons I am against voting for those that don't pay attention). I'm convinced if you asked literally everyone that's ever gamed before, 80-90% of them would say they have either never heard of the Wii U or that they thought it was a controller for the Wii.

If they named it something you else, ANYTHING else, I think it would have sold at least 50-60 million units.

That's clearly not true. First, where are these 80-90% of gamers that don't know the Wii U was a console? Also, if it confused 80-90% of gamers, then where are the reports of tens to hundreds of millions of Wii U games accidentally bought for the Wii? This didn't happen.

Why are you lying about this?
