Nintendo considering renaming Wii U

Nintendo Considering Renaming Wii U? | My Nintendo News

Quote:
Online gaming publication CVG claims that an industry insider has suggested that Nintendo are considering changing that name of the Wii U. Nintendo are considering such a move due to the public confusion that has surrounded the Nintendo 3DS console since launch. We will find out if that is the case at this years E3 event in June.
What would you name it?

I hope they do, because "Wii U" reminds me of this crappy song.

And I know the article stated this, but this really should happen because of the 3DS confusion which really ended up hurting sales. It'd be a good mood.

I say they call it the Revolution. >.>

If they pick any of these, I'll be happy:
Revolution
Yellow Dart
Screen in Your Hand System
Cougar. Yes, That Kind of Cougar*
Thing
Chromatic

*That's the entire name. Including this footnote.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I like Thing.

It still allows non-video-game-savvy people to take things in the wrong context.

Still, whether or not it suits I absolutely love the name "Nintendo Ultra" and think they should have stuck by it, originally. They would receive a lot of good will for resurrecting the old naming trend.

Nintendo 6 is pretty popular in Aus Kotaku's comments, as well, which I would be cool with.
