We don't care about the name because we like it or not, we care about the names because if it is named like 3DS, other, less informed people will misunderstand and not by the system.KirbyBoy said:machomuu said:Exactly, people notice they are the next console because they have numbers. The Wii U dios admittedly sound like an add-on, and the 3DS just sounds like another revision, not a major next generation console like PS1 to PS2, which are notable for their numeric endings and thus people instantly now it's the next iteration and not the next revision.KirbyBoy said:But that is what it is. I mean, look at the sony. PS1, PS2, PS3. All sold well, and they kept "Playstation" Through and through with just adding 2 and 3.machomuu said:What he means is if they keep the name of the previous console and add onto it (without a number like DS 2 or Wii 2) then people will think it's an add-on or revision, just like what happened with the 3DS.KirbyBoy said:Every console and handheld is an upgrade of the original. So yes they are right.Wizerzak said:KirbyBoy said:I don't understand why people won't buy it because it's named "Wii U" I certainly would buy it if it has good games.Wizerzak said:Why Nintendo??????!!!!! Have you not learned from the 3DS????!!!!!! Don't keep the same name! People won't buy it! To me it just looks like an add on the the Wii... And i really hope we can use GC controllers for some REAL gaming.
I will as well. But what I'm saying is, with the 3DS, many people I know IRL seem to think it's just an upgrade of the normal DS. I predict the same with this "Nah, i won't buy it, it's the same as the Wii" UNLESS they market the ACTUAL CONSOLE (picture earlier) well, in which case people will see.
But that doesn't make much sense, if they were known for there numeric endings, why didn't they just name the ps vita the psp 2? Really, if people are going to make such a big fuss over names, then why buy the console in the first place?
