Nintendo's choices

[Arjahn]

I definitely find a problem with the naming, mostly that it doesn't quite seem like a "New" console generation to me like previous iterations, namely the Wii U. Let's look at it historically,
Gameboy- Gameboy Color - Gameboy Advanced - Nintendo DS - Nintendo DSi - Nintendo 3DS
NES/Famicom - Super NES/Super Famicom - Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Gamecube - Wii - Wii U

I suppose they used to do it that way, and it's the same exact pattern with the Handheld names, but there just isn't a big leap from Wii to Wii U as there was in N64 - Gamecube or Gamecube - Wii.
It's just not quite as exiting
