Want to know a funny thing? Here in Italy we're flooded by Penelope Cruz advertising Prof. Layton, 3DS and 3DS XL. PS3 and PSV get their advertising in football matches, but if you don't watch football you don't see much other PS advertising. Then there is Assassin's Creed III having some ads. Everything else in gaming world is still receiving almost no advertising at all. Maybe it hasn't really started yet, but Wii U has already been launched, yet we're flooded by Penelope, annihilating everything else. If there was some timid Wii U ad, then it passed by almost unnoticed, I vaguely remember something, but Penelope, Layton and 3DS are so intrusive, ubiquitous and overwhelming that I really can't remember whether I saw a Wii U ad or a Wii one. This Nintendo strategy doesn't make much sense, unless they acknowledged Wii U is supply constrained, so they're waiting for bigger shipments to start proper advertising, to avoid wasting it and possibly pissing off people by getting them hyped and then not making them all able to buy.
