you're forgetting about the jumps from Gameboy to DS, and SNES to N64, and Gamecube to WiiHm...
Nintendo Entertainment System -> Super Nintendo Entertainment System
GameBoy -> GameBoy Color -> GameBoy Advance -> Gamecube (and a VirtualBoy somewhere in there)
Nintendo DS -> Nintendo 3DS
Nintendo Wii -> Nintendo Wii U
So, other than Nintendo64, Nintendo always used the original names at least partially for a follow-up console. Guess it's a tradition for them. Wondering why there was no confusion back then though? I don't mind the Wii U name at all, so, I kind of have a hard time thinking at a alternative. Maybe Nintendo128 (if they are to rip off another "original" name), or back to Project Cafe? That would be... uh... weird.
How about, "Who cares what's the name, it's a friggin' console, you should be worried about the launch titles 'n shizz". Wcwtniafcysbwatltns for short. Rolls off the tongue perfectly fine.
I really dig that name for some reason, maybe because the number 6 is called ''sex'' here...They should name in Nintendo New Revolution or Nintendo 6. Then they can be ahead of Sony and Microsoft since it would be their sixth major home console released.
Super Wii
Or the simple and effective: Wii 2
dya know really who cares what its called .. since the day it began i havent cared once over what it was called , zx80 , zx81 , commodore vic20 , commodore 64 , zx spectrum , zx spectrum 128 , BBC micro , Amiga , nes , snes , master system , megadrive , mega CD , playstation 1,2,3(oh how original) xbox , xbox 360 , wii DS , 3ds all these i owned and didnt once care on its name...

guy- Look at my PNES!!!!!I remember someone suggested this for the Wiiu and I thought it was funny:
Platnium Nintendo Entertainment System---> PNES
xD.
anyways It would be nice if the name is changed. But I kind of gotten used to Wiiu name since you can make a police siren out of it "Wiiu WIIU wiiu"

Having said that,
