What's the deal with the Wii U in Europe?

I don't know about elsewhere, but it must be said that here in Italy some big store chains like MediaWorld did almost nothing to make Wii U stand out, just part of a page on their monthly leaflet, shared with other consoles, and a small, anonymous pile of them besides the Wii U pile, so making it look like just a Wii version to a quick glance, for those that don't know it, even worse confirming the misinformation of those that know about its existence, but misunderstood it as a Wii version. What's even worse, last time I went there, during Wii U launch week, the only fully working demo unit was a PS3, connected to a 50"+ Sony 3D TV, the XB360 had its TV complaining about being connected badly and not receiving the signal, all the others, including Vita, were turned off or not working, except 3DS, that instead was working correctly, but it had NO GAMES installed. Meanwhile Ninty is doing massive advertising on TV with Penelope Cruz for 3DS and Prof. Layton, but I haven't seen any Wii U ad yet.
