OP, 3DS needed the same marketing campaign as people thought it was an upgrade.
What we have learned from the general public is they are stupid. They either need a NUMBEr on the end or a new name that is significantly different to know its new.
Does Wii U have a marketing problem? | |||
Yes | 246 | 78.59% | |
Maybe | 36 | 11.50% | |
No | 30 | 9.58% | |
Total: | 312 |

It's Nintendo fixing one of the mistakes they made with Wii U. Why the article contains such implied derision and criticism, I don't know. Obviously looking at Wii U's sales everyone knows it has a sales problem. Everyone has known for months there is a communication problem. Why is on Earth is it bad that Nintendo are trying to alter that?

Just ignore this guy. Seriously he does nothing but speak negatively about Nintendo. He is a troll and why he even bothers reading Nintendo forums is a joke.

Although it shows how idiotic the marketing is, it's still around 100 million free adverts. So who's going to complain?
It's just sensationalism to play this off as a move of desperation. It's another channel for Nintendo to spread the word, why not use it?
To be honest though, how many people actually check those messages? My Wii has been sitting in the attic of my parents' house for the past couple of years.
S.T.A.G.E. said: Being that the the Wii was purchased primarily by non-gamers, I doubt 85% of the owners even will see that message because the console isnt even plugged into the internet. |
Not sure about percentages, but I think you might be right. I bought mine in 2008, played a couple of games and almost haven't touched it since 2009, when I bought a ps3. It's still a good move from Nintendo, but I doubt enough people will read it to have any kind of effect on hd sales of wiiu.
Still, it's good to see them trying, but maybe they should invest some of that money they have on marketing around October and with a price cut see sales increase significantly.
I see 2 problems here:
1.How many "casuals" connected their system to the internet?
2. How many people that dont know what a WiiU is actually play their Wii right now so they could get that message?

I totally agree. This was an advertisment venue that cost them almost nothing and hit their target full on. Extremely well thought.
