    People keep saying this but this kind of naming convention contributed to the confusion around the Wii U and its poor sales

      No, the Wii U’s issue is the name is nonsensical. What the fuck does the U mean? It sounds like an add-on or health title.

      No one had an issue with identifying the Super Nintendo Entertainment System as a successor to the Nintendo Entertainment System, or the Super Famicom as the successor to the Famicom.

        Also, for some reason they often only showed the new gamepad when talking about it.
