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?

I prefer a separate name or something that's easily distinguishable like the Super Nintendo Switch suggestion in comments.

The playstation nomenclature sucks in my opinion, can't tell which is which when looking at them (specially ps3 and ps4 I feel like they're the same)
