Nintendo invokes good names to defend a bad one [update 1] {Joystiq}
Apr 29th 2006 4:04PM I think the last couple of days of seeing the fallout of based on this name shows why companies do market research about names. A Joystiq poll showed that slightly over half either disliked or hated it and the rest either "could get used to it" or like it. This is not a good sign.
If many on this board think that brand names and branding have nothing to do with success and that it all depends on the product features, I think you are being too simplistic. Branding and naming are major aspects of product identity and consumer acceptance.
The raging fight on the internet clearly shows this naming was a mistake (that Nintendo can't change). The question is why was such a basic mistake made and are they making more critical product mistakes that we don't know about yet.
