So Nintendo's solution to the Wii U's sluggish sales is to advertise it against ... the Wii?

Way to go strong, Nintendo. Show the competition no mercy. You go out there are you take all 20,000 would-be Wii customers a week and you convince them to buy a Wii U instead!

Well, that's it, people. Problem solved.

This poster is also supposed to convince the 99 million Wii owners to upgrade. Some casuals that don't do much research should find these posters useful.

 

OT: Seriously, people. Nintendo didn't spend massive amounts of advertising money on this. This is not an alternative to proper advertising, so take it for what it is: a cheap (and hopefully effective) complement.

The problem is, we're talking about a video-game convention.  The crowd there is going to be pretty much the same as on this forum.  Perhaps a bit more stinky, maybe a touch more into collectable cards, but still similar.  They're probably going to make fun of it, too.

Now, to be fair, maybe they just grabbed up some left over posters and threw them into the car.  I hope that's the case, anyway.  Otherwise it's a very, very poor job of knowing their audience.  Nintendo is big time, they can do better than this.

Anyway, regardless, my post was more tongue-in-cheek than anything.
