Once E3 rolls around, there won't be any confusion that the WiiU is the successor to the Wii.
I want to believe this, but this is a world where the iPad3 will soon exist. When I think of how the public perceives hardware upgrades I think of Apple and how their numbering system shows a progression, but an i__ is still an i___ regardless of the number, for the most part.
But a PS2 is not a PS3, a 3DS is not a DS, and a WiiU will not be a Wii. I think the very fact that the 3DS caused confusion means Nintendo should choose a more striking name for it.
This is even disregarding the fact that "Wii U" as a name is even more dumb than the original "Wii" name.
