[QUOTE=Vexer]It's not the minor changes that bother people, but the confusing names that make purchasing one more a hassle for the average person who hasn't kept track of all the different versions then it should be, hell there are people that still don't know that the Wii U is a new console and not just a Wii add-on or something like that, so you can imagine how confused some people are going to get with a title like "New" 3DS.[/QUOTE]
We agree 100% on this point. 100 percent. I don't know what happened to every hardware maker except Sony, but Nintendo and Microsoft (and to be fair most of the plug and plays and streaming boxes) cannot name anything to save their lives. And it isn't getting better. Microsoft is skipping Windows 9 to go right to 10, and are naming all their mainline initiatives after core gaming Halo characters for no reason, and called their third system "One" and their second one 360. I can't wait for the next Windows: Windows 78: The Flood.
Nintendo called one new 3DS model "2" and their third one "new," while calling the first one "3." Of course, the previous one was just DS, except when it was DSi, which is a separate shop than the eShop, which has some DSi games. And the Wii U plays Wii games in Wii mode, including Wii download games, except when they are downloads of Wii games, which play in Wii U mode and support the gamepad, unless the Wii game didn't support the classic controller, in which case you need to use the Wiimote to play your Wii game in Wii U mode on Wii U.
And don't get me started on stupid names like Shield and "ooya" which I assume were random words written on the notebooks of the 4th graders who were hired to market them.
