I think things would've worked out differently if Nintendo hadn't messed up the naming of the Wii U. We probably would've had a line up like this:

• Wii
• Wii Pro (Wii U)
• Wii Portable (Switch)

They're at that crossroad again with the Switch name. What do you think the Switch successor should be called? Keep the Switch name or nah?

Considering the fiasco that was the WiiU was partly due to its name, I think that nintendo will want to move as far away as possible from the name of its predecessor.

They had no problem selling the 3DS (versus the DS) or even the 3DS XL or new 3DS.

I think they will ride a bit on the success of the Switch but will make it clear that it is a new system.
