Are you drunk, OP? This is a serious question by the way and it's not meant to flame you...

I don't think it's an insult. But they not have known the name "WiiU" would be seen as very stupid and ridiculous lol.

PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!

lol no. i was just trying to think of why Nintendo called it the Wii U and I thought they may have done it to insult other gamers who don't respect the Wii. So they say WII U.

Your right. I have no idea what i'm talking about.
