I was browsing around my city center yesterday, in Bristol UK, at all of the game sections trying to hunt for new releases and sales on Wii U and 3DS games and noticed something which could confuse your average person.

In your traditional Gaming store, take GAME for example, all of the game sections have always been clearly labelled and seperated per console, there is a PS3 section, a Xbox 360 section, a Vita section and... wait a minute...

A Wii section and a DS section.

Within the Wii section, there is mainly Wii U games, and some of the more recent Wii releases along with second hand games. I understand that Wii U does not have a huge catalogue yet and probably could not fill up its own section but then i took a look at the DS section.

The games were all jumbled. 3DS and DS games mixed together, and the cases are not that dissimilar, it was confusing to me to find some of the 3DS games and i am an experienced gamer who definitely knows the difference between DS and 3DS.

I think instances like this are creating the brand confusion which everybody has been blaming Nintendo for for the past 2 years.

Wondering if anyone else has noticed anything like this?
