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?

If they keep the switch branding, they need to just call it "switch 2" instead of some name that they think is clever but will just confuse people.

in JRPG style, call it Switch Zero R.

Or, better yet, use Kingdom Hearts naming scheme!

You could call it Nintendo 358/2 Re:Switch
