I think that everything is the problem just not Nintendo.

Give me a break, the boxes are different, people would know. In Poland, Vita, if they are selling games for it at all, also doesn't have it's own shelf space,(if there is no PS Vita stand that obviously SONY put there paying money so the handheld is visible), and the few games there are, are merged with PSP titles.

This.  You guys sound like developers who say that used games are the reason they don't make money anymore, except you're fans trying to spin some new random reason why the 3DS isn't selling.  We see a new topic every week that the Wii U is going to start selling after Monster Hunter, then Lego City, then this, then that, etc, etc, etc, and you always go back to the "consumers  can't differntiate between Wii and Wii U."

The Wiii U was constantly on news reports throughout the world on release.  "Go buy a Wii U, blah blah blah, you can't find it anywhere" says Reggie.  The Wii U clearly has different labeling to differentiate it with the Wii.  Most retailers, all that I've been to, the Wii U and even the Vita have their own sections, although very very small compared to the others.  I was in Target the other day and it had a half row dedicated to it in comparison to the PS3 and 360 which both had a full row. 

Regardless if it was the first time someone saw the Wii U and games label.  They are very stupid if they can't differentiate it from the Wii.

 

Pictured above is a Wii U game, next to it your average Wii game.  Doesn't something in those photos just reach out and slap you in the face, especially when they're all placed next to each other?   Even if a store places Wii and Wii U together, they don't have them scrambled together.  They might have all Wii U titles first, then start filling the rest of the slots with Wii titles.  Places like Walmart and Target did the same with PS3/PS2, DS/3DS, PSP/Vita, and 360/Xbox.  This is common practice.

If that doesn't help your average customer.  Then there's this. 

If on the front of the box doesn't help see that it's a different console.  If the games themselves don't help.  The side of the box points out it's a new console, poiints out that it's 1080p, and that your games still have backwards compatibility.

You don't see Vita fans making excuses as on why it's not selling even close to we expected for a stupid reason such as this.  What ends you go to defending the consoles sales makes you look a bit pathetic honestly.
