    I know a number of people who thought the Wii U was an attachment for the Wii and not a separate console so you might be right about the name.

      A guy I used to work with was convinced the whole thing was a scam. “Did his own research” and determined that all he needed was the console to upgrade his Wii. So he bought one secondhand. For his kids. Didn’t quite work out the way he had hoped. Eventually broke down and bought the pad etc.

      He was not the brightest bulb, just the type to think of himself as such.
