What if Nintendo decided to choose a different name for their console (Wii U)? Would it be able to sell more than it is right now? To the gaming masses, the name it's self acts like a repelant to many potential buyers and confuses the ever shrinking casual console buyers. What do you think? Could a simple name change turn the tides from the Wii U being "d0omed"? A name like The U, Nintendo Ultra, or maybe acronyms like NU, NWU, or simply U be a good marketing change?

Super Wii or Wii 2 would have had better awareness, the concept, games and system is still the same tho.

I kinda feel there was a window for a different name to change the future of WiiU, but that has well and truly passed.



 

It depends on what name they would have given it. I would have liked "Nintendo U" with a red theme instead of blue.



It would have sold a shit ton more unless its something even more retarded like Wii One

Nothing, I just think red would have looked cooler.

Nowhere near as consumer friendly, very aggressive colour. Just as well you're not in charge!

Hey, maybe next console cycle?



What if Wii never existed and Iwata wake up without legs?
