Nintendo is partly to blame because their advertising is shit. If this was Sony or especially M$ launching a new console, that BLOPSII ad with all the celebrities that was on every TV channel for like a month would have had it's own "next gen" version showing off all the new or extra features exclusive to their new console, to try and convince as many PS360 gamers as possible to make the switch.
As it stands, I'm pretty sure that 99% of COD fans either didn't know or didn't care that Wii U was getting a version of BLOPSII, especially considering the fact that the Wii U version wasn't officially announced until Nintendo's September press conference... nearly 4 months AFTER the game had already been unveiled for PS360/PC and preorders had already been started by GameStop and other retailers back in May.
Nintendo effed up the Wii U's launch in so many ways that it's almost unbelievable, from their lackluster E3 conference, to waiting until just TWO MONTHS before to announce an official release date and price which killed pretty much any hype for the console, and then on top of all that the total lack of advertising on Nintendo's part is completely baffling to me. I have seen just one commercial for the Wii U or its games so far, and that was during launch week. You have got to be kidding me. It's like Nintendo hasn't learned a damn thing from previous experiences and expects their systems and games to sell themselves by word of mouth the way the Wii did for the first couple years of its life.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
