Nintendo seems SO CLOSE to being something great, but they do seem to make some really strange choices.

Holy shit this is my biggest gripe with them. I mean, look at what they've done with their latest hardware: The Wii U and the New 3DS. What fucking moron came up with those names? Who is the bigger moron who approved those names?

Consider Nintendo's primary audience: It sure as shit ain't the "hip and trendy tech/gaming enthusiast" who'll be able to, at a moment's notice, list the specs and differences between the DS, DSLite, 3DS, 3DS XL, 3DS LL, 2DS, New 3DS, New 3DS XL, etc etc.

No, their primary audience are families, and who's going to be doing most of the shopping in families? Fucking parents or grandparents. What the hell is someone going to think when they see a Wii U? "Oh we already have a Wii, this just looks like another accessory like the Wii Fit or the Wii Remote Plus, we don't really need that."

These people aren't going to know what the fuck a New 3DS is!! "Oh we already got a new 3DS a few months ago, it was bigger than the old one, so that's not something I even need to consider looking at."

The shitty thing is that the Wii U and New 3DS are decent systems, but thanks to the monkeys who approved those shitty names, Nintendo just went and shot themselves in the foot by confusing the fuck out of their core audience and making them not even interested in buying them.

No shit the Wii U isn't selling, Nintendo... Because your branding and marketing guys already fucked everything up.

I mean, Microsoft didn't do a whole lot better naming their new console the Xbox One, but you know the difference between Nintendo and Microsoft? College-aged kids are at least going to know what the fuck an Xbox One is, whereas your typical soccer mom or grandfather probably won't know what to think about the Wii U when they already have a Wii.
