Who?
That is silly.
If anything, more people are saying that the (new) products should have less confusing names.
People in this thread talking about market confusion between the Wii U and this console redesign. People in the Nintendo Black Friday sales thread suggesting that the DS should be discontinued because it is outselling the 3DS and therefore eating into the 3DS' business. Not just one or two people per thread either.
I sort of remember the same sort of arguments aimed at the PS2 in 2007 when the PS3 was struggling. People were suggesting that Sony should shutter the PS2 in favour of more PS3 sales. Nevermind the PS3 was A) loosing a ton of money per console sold, and B) like 3 times as expensive as the PS2, which I believe was $149 at the time. Also, if Sony followed GAF logic at the time, they would have lost out on over 50 million profitable PS2 console sales (since Nov 2006) for what would have been minor PS3 gains at best.
It's been a long time since we have had a cheap console alternative for people with young kids, or people who can't afford $150-200 systems. Wii is finally reaching that market (outside of special sales like Black Friday). Canada doesn't have those $129 Just Dance and Wii Sports bundles as far as I know, so I guess it makes sense to test out the Wii Mini here where there will be a $50 price difference between it and the NSMB or Skylanders bundles. They really should have included a game though. Even if it was just Wii Sports which retails for $20 separately.
