One of the many complaints levied at Nintendo in the aftermath of its E3 2011 reveal of the Wii U was that the system's name simply wasn't good enough. Although few faulted the publisher for wanting to retain its powerful Wii branding, many wondered if 'Wii U' would confuse consumers rather than make them immediately understand a new console was on the market. According to the latest rumor moving through the industry, Nintendo might now be reconsidering its naming strategy.
The bulk of Nintendo's second guessing apparently comes from how the 3DS was received, with many potential buyers wondering if the system was simply an upgraded DS. With losses mounting and even more pressure on Nintendo to perform, these rumors suggest that serious discussions are now being held as to whether the name 'Wii U' is strong enough. If a change is necessary, this same rumor claims a new name would be revealed prior to E3 2012.
Rumors regarding Wii U are nothing new. As 2012's biggest hardware launch, the entire industry is buzzing with speculation over what Nintendo has done and will do with its latest unconventional product. To be sure, we have far more questions than answers about the console, and Nintendo has much to prove.
