I would probably say same about your avatar picture lol.

I remember similar marketing brochures when the Playstation 2 came out and Sony had to differentiate it from the PS1.

Oh wait, that never happened.

not with PS1, but Sony did the same with PS3, Xbox and Wii

So much... this. ROFL. They should have added a "third party support" line in which neither column is ticked to make it true. Wait, also "dead slow OS" and "oudated tech", and they can check those.

So, the Wii doesn´t play Wii U games?..Fuck you, Nintendo!

This poster is also supposed to convince the 99 million Wii owners to upgrade. Some casuals that don't do much research should find these posters useful.

OT: Seriously, people. Nintendo didn't spend massive amounts of advertising money on this. This is not an alternative to proper advertising, so take it for what it is: a cheap (and hopefully effective) complement.

The problem is, we're talking about a video-game convention.  The crowd there is going to be pretty much the same as on this forum.  Perhaps a bit more stinky, maybe a touch more into collectable cards, but still similar.  They're probably going to make fun of it, too.

Now, to be fair, maybe they just grabbed up some left over posters and threw them into the car.  I hope that's the case, anyway.  Otherwise it's a very, very poor job of knowing their audience.  Nintendo is big time, they can do better than this.

Anyway, regardless, my post was more tongue-in-cheek than anything.

Lesson to be learned here is that the average consumer is an idiot.

People who don't read up on gaming related stuff wouldn't really know it was a new console like in the wii u's case. Nintendo has named alot of there peripherals wii-somthing, so the wii u does sound like an add on. The advertising by nintendo doesn't really help eithier since they concentrate alot on the tablet. I didn't even know what the console even looked like until I looked it up online. Naming it the wii-2 or changing the name entirely would have ben clearer like in the case of other consoles.

Let me guess... It looks like a Wii. Perhaps if Nintendo was as lame at naming consoles as Sony and Microsoft then it would be the Wii 2.
