Nintendo really needs to add some new "hook" to their consoles, something better than the letter 'U'.
With the GameCube to Wii, everyone wanted to get it because it seemed like, and was, an entirely different console. With the Wii to Wii U, some people don't even realize that it is a new console. It isn't even that different, really. The main difference is the game pad, and almost no games give that a new, innovative use that completely changes the game. In the end the only big change is the games, which are mostly sequels.

You have a point. I think they're trying to establish a "Wii" brand but that didn't work very well, like it would for Microsoft or Sony, because they've always done things other than games -- Many Westerners are unaware that Nintendo is the oldest (believing that it was established by the NES) and not a company that's been around for over a century.
