I don't think the WiiU is really that worth it, so I do not reall care what it should be called, but to me it's a Wii WASTE OF $$$
Hmmmm..... I don't think so. I believe The Nintendo Stream sounds better. It's like how people refer to other Nintendo consoles as "64", "Gamecube", or "Wii". So the Nintendo Stream would be refered to as "Stream". Of course this is all hypothetical.
Also, I don't think using the Wii in the name of the new console is really a bad strategy. If we stop to think about it, the WiiU is barely a brand new console. It uses the same controls, design (even though it's probably just temporary) as the Wii. It seems to be mostly a revamped Wii, really.
Besides that, Nintendo is also obviously planning to keep up with the strategy they had with the Wii (casual gaming): it can be clearly proven by the demos Nintendo brought to the E3: mostly casual games. What I'm saying is that keeping the name would make the casual audience relate no the new console.
I swear this is the best article ever. [Opinion] Why the Wii U is a Great Name and How it Could be Better | IGXPRO
This guy agrees that keeping Wii in the name is a great economic strategy on Nintendo's part, and also agrees that the new console is so much like a Wii that it deserves Wii in the name. Yes, it is a new console, but it was designed and built as an upgraded Wii. Nintendo clearly said, "Let's take our current console and make it better." There is no doubt in my mind that is how it went down. Just look at the thing!
Wii Tablet......thats all it is... i dont understand how anyone can consider this a new console
omg someone on the internet who isnt ********
Then why was the Wii called the "Wii" and not "Gamecube whateves"? All the Wii really was, was a slightly more powerful Gamecube with motion controls... Doesn't change the fact that it's an entirely new console. That's why you can't get its games anywhere else. And please explain how "technically, you need a Wii to use it", because that makes no sense at all. It has completely new features and is much more powerful than a Wii (at least from what we hear). It needs a new name because idiots make the mistake of thinking that's it's just another Wii and not Nintendo's next generation console.
LOL! Followers...
But when I saw the video of the WiiU, it was hooked up to the Wii, and was basically a high-tech wii mote. D: I didn't mean it in a mean way, I was just stating my opinion. >.<
Um, what fire? I really don't know.Oh god. It seems I lit a fire, and now it's burning FAST. I'm sorry to those that I've offended, but I was only stating my opinion! From my perspective, it just seemed like an extension to the Wii. ;n; Please don't yell at me for that. I don't really watch trailer videos of game consoles, nor do I keep up on updates such as Nintendo changing the WiiU's name. I thought it would be nice to let you guys know what I thought, but that apparently ignited some sparks. >.<
