the problem is not the quality of the ads but the timing
they were launched so fucking late

There's a theory floating around that Nintendo's purposefully held back the Ad's, waiting until they're needed to move inventory.

It wouldn't surprise me if the rumor is true.

Nintendo provided a minimum of ads before launch. Once the numbers of Europe started to lag, i started seeing a lot more Wii U ads. So they are clearly reacting more, then anticipating. Which is probably the smart move.

Nintendo is mostly a money-smart company. If they know they can only get that much inventory shipped, then why would they put money down for ads.
