Yeah, I don't see it moving a ton of consoles but it could prove to be a sleeper hit with the critics.

Hey, Nintendo, here's a thought: put some freak'n money behind it with some advertising so it doesn't go unnoticed (unlike poor ZombiU).


That seems like what Iwata has in mind when he stated that he has no intension of lowering the price of the WiiU. He said that the value of the console needed to be communicated better. i.e. better advertising. I guess they had started. The following days when ever I tried to pull some gaming videos from Youtube I usally had the advertisment to come and watch the Nintendo Direct pop up before hand. Whether they continue to do so remain the question. They have the right idea in that just carpet bombing TV isn't the answer. Lower cost approaches that target where the target audience is does better.

Plus bring in software, but we will have to wait for the next ND for that.

I sure hope so.  Regarding ZombiU specifically, I lost count of how many times I saw the Resident Evil 6 commercial during The Walking Dead.  Such a missed opportunity by Nintendo with ZombiU.
