Nintendo need to stop with the silly names.

Next console = Nintendo 1
Console after that = Nintendo 2
ect ect.

cuts down on confusion, and even casuals can follow the logic.

Well in that case, next gen it will potentially be Nintendo 1 vs. Xbox 2, vs Playstation 5.

Some clueless consumers are going to pick the one with the highest number, because it sounds superior.

 

They wouldnt be wrong 

Ba dum tss

Wii Pro Controller
Wii Nunchuck
Wii Remote
Wii Balance Board
Wii U
Wii Motion Plus
Wii Zapper
Wii Wheel

How is your average joe expected to know which of those is a peripheral and which is a brand new System. I def think the name was an issue. When my Dad first saw a Wii U commercial he thought it was an attachment for the Wii.

Not only is the Wii U a terrible name from a marketing perspective, I also hate saying it. It sounds so stupid. PS4 is the only name that sounds fine when said out loud. Xbox "One" is also terrible and makes me cringe when saying it aloud.

I feel like many people will think that the NX system will be the next console after the Wii, since people still confused the Wii/WiiU

You are 100% percent correct. Once we get closer to the NX launch, we need to brace ourselves for a whole host of articles with headlines like "Nintendo Finally Set to Release First Console Since Wii."
