edit: i do agree that nintendo could have named the wiiu something else, but its out & its been out long enough, if everyone doesn't know what it is then newsflash there are people today that still don't know how to use iphones or computers. just saying lol

i personally don't think the name has anything to do with sales.
(xbox vs xbox one), (iphone vs 3gs, 4g, 4gs, 5g, 5gs).
the primary problem with wiiu is the games people think are on it.
sure it has 1st parties & more are coming but, we rarely see any footage of 3rd party games even the few that are coming, where's project cars wiiu footage? watch dogs wiiu? they never show any call of duty wiiu footage when the games are coming they don't even announce them. the way 3rd parties treat wiiu & wiiu customers is hurting the console & its customers.
including all of these 3rd party games that skipped wiiu, or missed features(dlc, multiplayer, online) on wiiu, because of dev/publisher logic. all in all devs need to show more wiiu footage & give us more features if they want their games to be known on wiiu also(not just ps/xbone). not everyone likes using google to see what games are coming. & even then thats not a way to know about every game.
(i'm sharing the video below because i want nintendo & 3rd parties to see how there hurting the wiiu & wiiu customers)
continueing that last comment tho, if i were to go right now, & go hmm what should i buy wiiu, xbone, or ps4.
from all of the commercials & trailers i see now my assumption would be games like call of duty, need for speed, assassin's creed, splintercell, watch dogs, project cars comes to everything but wiiu(when in fact they do come to wiiu), & games like destiny, battlefield, crysis, tomb raider, gta dont come to wiiu because of developer/publisher logic. & the only thing thats on wiiu is mariokart 8, & the games on the rack.
that has nothing to do with the name. games sell a console not its name. & knowing that those games exist on that console sells those games also. these game trailers, commercials, game ads of today only cater to px/xbox users, & the only thing nintendo can advertise are there own 1st party games & the games that they fund like bayonetta & devils third. 3rd parties need to open up their advertising beyond just ps & xbox, then the market can be more like console equality & not just 2 out of 3.
