I disagree. What they needed to show, which they did, is how the Wii U separates itself and how different it is from every other gaming console out there, including the Wii. Games are somewhat irrelivant at this point, as gamers like me and you would already know what the Wii U is about, so there is no convincing us one way or another - for example there is nothing Ninty can show in a commercial now that would change my mind about the Wii U. But people who don't know what Wii U is, could care less or know the difference between the games being shown in a short commercial - whether, they showed Zombie U, Pikmin or Nintendo Land, etc, probably wouldn't make a difference to such would-be gamers. 

It's all about the games when a new system comes out. The simplest way to get someone who doesn't follow gaming news interested in buying a console is to show off cool games. The more games, the better. This will make these people go out of their way and look up the product on the internet or talk with their friends about it.

What you propose is what the first 3DS commercials were about. Nintendo emphasized the stereoscopic 3D without glasses and showed people going "ah" and "oh" while looking at a 3DS. They didn't show any games at all. The 3DS launch period was anything but good.

People don't buy video game systems for the hardware, they buy them for the games.

yup ^.^

IF 3rd party continues to support Wii-U, the Wii-U will have everything we have asked for in terms of software. It definitely has an exciting start.

Is it just me or the Wii-U feels like a PS2 so far?
