Wii is a silly name, but it is fine. It was a strategy to build momentum and brand recognition for the consolethrough word of mouth, because Nintendo lost a lot of media coverage in the Gamecube days. It worked obviously. But....
One thing is call it Wii, and another is being sttuborn to intentionally add another siily word, well a letter. Now, it isn't just the urine jokes, now "f**k u" will be the offensive line to the console for the next 5 years.
I think it's a better idea call the Wii Ultra, because bassically is the famous Wii HD that Patcher dreamed since 2006, and the definitive ultimate version of the Wii, the real vision what Nintendo wanted to be the white machine, like the Wii was for Gamecube.
By calling it Wii Ultra, it would simply sound more cool and serious, and they can simply shorten it as Wii U for marketing purposes. But making Wii U the official name, what sounded dumb with the actual Wii, now it's just terrible and childish. The hardcore people will not take seriously the console
