Nintendo's new console looks just like the old one, plus they only show the controller. Of course there's great consumer confusion. First CNN runs a misinformed story, now Fallon does the same thing. This never happened with the 3DS, everyone knew it was a new console (even if not everyone understood that it was next-gen right away). They could have a very dangerous situation with the Wii U when parents show up at stores expecting to just buy a controller for their kid's Wii console. When they're told that they have to buy a new box to use it, along with a few hundred more dollars, there could very well be a whole host of lost sales. This isn't the public's fault, it's Nintendo's for doing quite a poor job of designing and marketing this Wii 1.5.
