4. Wii U Name Change
There was a report awhile back in January which suggested that Nintendo would change the name of the Wii U ahead of E3. These months have since come and gone and Nintendo remains committed to the Wii U brand.
Even companies like Ubisoft, which would be privy to any changes before the rest of us, created internal presentations with an emphasis on the Wii U giving absolutely no hint that Nintendo would be changing the name.
As laughable as the name itself may be, it's since stuck, and changing it this late in the game would kill off any hype Nintendo has managed to build for the brand thus far.
