I think it's a good idea not to keep the wii name. Some of my friends thought it was just an upgraded wii. There was similar confusion with the 3DS.

Well to be fair, the PS3 was just an upgraded PS2 and the 360 was just an upgraded Xbox

Other than Super Wii Entertainment System, I would like the name t*Nintendo Eclipse.* Just like an eclipse, some information can be obscured from others or only viewed with the Wii U controller.

I don't care about the name, but my first pick would be: Revolution, Riivolution(for sake of continuity) or the Super Wii. Nintendo Revolution! Now you're playing with REVOLUTIONARY power!

How about Wii Core, or Super Wii?

Making promise is easy. The hard part is keeping it.

I think Nintendo should pre-empt Sony and call it the Playstation 4, that'll (star)fox 'em!

They could bring back the get N or get out slogan. I loved that slogan so much.

Yup, they could call it the Nintendo Ncepholocus? Nintendo Ncephalitis? Perhaps Nintendo cauht something Ndemic from playing with all that Wii? :lol:

I much prefer nintendo go back to the Entertainment System branding because they're in an anniversary year. The Nintendo Dynamic Entertainment System Unique! DESU! DESU! DESU!!

If they're losing market to people genuinely getting confused about the system and not doing enough research then you sohuld be happy - it just means your fellow online multiplayer base for the console games will be more competent and able to distinguish between named products.
Also kudos to Pixelman - who's suggestion was great none the less.

Wii. Wii who? Wii U.
I rather like the name Wii U.

Don't forget our existing Wii Remotes are going to work in conjunction with the Wii U. If you think consumers will be confused by the name Wii U, imagine how confused they'll be shopping for old Wii Remotes to use with their shiny new Nintendo "Revolution".

Whatever Nintendo decides, the final name will probably have Wii in it somewhere.

Why do people point to their wrists when asking for the time, but don't point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?

Brilliant.

Seriously though, I'm satisfied with the Wii U name 'cause I'll buy the thing regardless. I guess there are both pros and cons for dumping the Wii name...

Some of my 'Wii' names:

Wii II (Roman numerals make it more classy!)
Wii Poiesis ('Poiesis' means making or creating - which could help emphasise the tablet)
Wii Infinite (as in, the tablet brings infinite possibilities)
Wii Ion (makes it sound tough AND advanced!)
Wii Starlight (I dunno, I just thought of it...it just sounds whimsical)
Wii Cosmos (emphasises the 'connection' aspect i.e. build your universe with the Nintendo Network and the new controller)

So yeah, just some names from the top of my head
