Ah, I see what you did. The way it works is that if you search "wii U" you get only the results for wii u... and right now is its 100% peak. But we want to compare it to "wii". So you search for wii, and add a term for wii u. This will show you the historical interest peaks in the first four decembers of sales for the system, and how this month compares. Today wii is 49/100 of the 2009 peak. wii u is at 21/00 of that peak, with both terms growing. You add them together because a) google views them as seperate searches and b) many people searching for wii u only search for wii. The current searching is 70/100 of the peak, or 70/97 of the wii launch:

well funny thing is in Australia. There are apprently TV adds for the WiiU. However I am yet to meet someone who has seen one.

NIntendo put them up on youtube soon after the ad campaign come out lol.

They also been spamming people everyday who is a nintendo newsletter subscriber that WiiU is out. This never happened when Wii launched. So to their credit at least they are some what proactiv, however they need to get it out on TV more frequently considering I have seen PS VITA adds everyday for assasins creed lol.

Oh ok I see now. It's pretty low really, looks like Nintendo hasn't done a good job advertising the console. Hopefully the interest will increase by Christmas.

lol I knew I was going it wrong

Actually it's pretty good right now at 70% only four days into the month. And interest exceded pre-launch wii interest...the only month that was poorer was November, which could be a concern. It will be interesting to see the searches as December goes on.
