Guess what? I found out the reason why the thumb is the shortest finger out of the 5... IT STARTS WITH T

Hand me the Nobel Prize.

It´s true that poor branding is one of the main causes.

the other is poor marketing/advertisment campaign.

I wonder why Nintendo is not marketing the WiiU as it does with the 3ds. Weird

Nah, I'm sure it's because thumb has a "u" in it.

would have WIIX1-4-U been better?

WiiS4 would've been pretty successful, I thinl.

They should have named  it the " Super Wii Entertainment System".

How could I forget Ouya? ;)

I've come up with clearly the most logical and obvious solution.
Wii One.

I'll be honest, WiiU is a completely TERRIBLE name. I don't know who loved that enough at Nintendo to slap it on their product. And personally even when I hear Iwata pronouncing it in Directs it's not always that easy to register the U as a distinct part of the name.. Wii 2 or Wii Ultra would have even been far better.

That explains why Zelda games aren't doing very well in Japan, then.
