Ya know this is sad.

I was just talking with a coworker about AC3. He asked me which console I bought it on and I said Wii U.

After a few minutes talking about the game, he asks so what's the wii u? Is it just that controller screen? I said 'well, yeah its the new console and it has a controller with a screen'... he said... 'oh wait, its a new console? not just a add on?'

Yes. Nintendo has not been very effective at defining Wii U as a new console. They are lucky they didn't sell the gamepad separately day one otherwise you'd have all kinds of negative press of people buying just the gamepad.

btw, he too already knew about the basics of the PS4 and didn't care that the console itself wasn't shown. See the difference just a name can make?
