[QUOTE="endoverend, post: 5065495, member: 330223"] I totally agree with this. Why is "Wii U" a worse name than "PS4" and "Xbox One"? Hell, the Xbox One is a [I]terrible[/I] name. Why not call it the 720 like everyone expected? When I hear "Xbox One" I think of the original Xbox. I can recall Nintendo's E3 presentations featuring Wii U. They showed off more 3rd party Wii U games than you could imagine. Nintendo seemed to be so [I]proud[/I] of the support that they got. And they had good reason to. But 3rd party devs didn't seem to notice. Everyone makes the assumption that for some odd reason the Wii U was a failure off the bat because the name was bad. However, it is easy to assume that the name caused sales drops considering nintendo's console history. --Nintendo Consoles-- NES -> [B]Super NES[/B] -> Nintendo 64 -> Gamecube -> Wii -> [B]Wii U[/B] The Super NES had a similar name to the NES but it was a huge success. But when Nintendo tried the slight name change again with the Wii U the console was (not to say there's no hope for a turnaround, but there's not) a failure. There has to be a reason the Wii U failed [I]other[/I] than its naming. Like you said, it has to do with developers and their nearsightedness when it comes to Nintendo products. [/QUOTE]
