Should have come in the last 2-3 years to help prop up falling Wii sales.

But as you mentioned launching right around the Wii U is a baffling decisions.

That said, it isn't a BAD decision. Just a poorly timed one. And I think Mini is kind of a known quantity.

I don't see people getting the Mini and the U confused, but we shall see. Also curious that Canada seems to be the test market for this thing
The thing I was imagining is kids telling their parents they want "the new Wii", but not "that new wii."

Parent goes into store, tells store person they want "the new Wii," store person has to try to explain the difference.
