Well, I live in Sweden and we usually don't have too many VG ads, but I haven't seen anything at all here about the Wii U!!

Yes, the media has been pondering what to even make of the Wii U because its not like the Wii where it makes things simpler for casuals. Nintendo has all the Wii's sold out, but what will happen next year? How will the marketing need to pick up and change?

It might be that Nintendo is counting on Nintendo fans and core gamers to pick up the system, so they don't advertise too much to the general public. Maybe they count on the core to get the casuals to play the system, and seeing how fun it (hopefully) will be they decide to get it as well. That's why they won't release Wii Fit U until next year: thats when the general public will have noticed Wii U
