I understand it latches familiarity to the product. But it must not make up for the loss in sales do to confusion and the general slight feeling that your not getting this brand new system. I think people would be slightly more intrigued in buying these systems if they were called The Nintendo Revolution and True3D or something. Makes it sound like a bigger console gap instead of sounding like an expansion... Wii U sounds less powerful then Revolution

idk, just a thought.

Yeah in my opinion the familiarity they were going for backfired on them. Instead of being like ds 2 or something where it's obviously the new version, they went with 3ds which to the layperson is just a ds with 3d and who cares about that. They look like they will be hitting the same issue when wii-u hits. In fact both CNN and Jimmy Kimmel thought it was just a new controller for the existing wii.
