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

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.

OK, good! I just I won't get reported by some smart-ass now!
