Retailers are a part of the Wii U problem

I think that everything is the problem just not Nintendo.

Give m. Abreak, 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 comment is hilariously ironic.  Basically you say the shared cabinet space with Wii is not hurting the Wii U because Vita doesn't have its own cabinet space and... you know... Vita is selling amazing.

OT:  Lack of dedicated space would hurt any product.  My experience in Canada is that Wii U has its own space.  Certainy at Walmart it usually has the best space in the games section. Little less good space at some Gamestops.  Of course it seems to sell OK here.

Yeah, but noone brings that up as an excuse for the horrible sales that Vita suffers. Even though Vita and the PSP look similar on pictures. Maybe I should start bringing that up. The huge PSP sales in Europe are all because people want to buy the Vita but keep buying PSPs by accident.

Thats not what this is about, im not saying the only reason Wii U isnt selling is because people get confused in store, there are many contributing factors, and Brand confusion is known to be one of these.

my point is that (certain)retailers ,in the UK at least, are not helping themselves with their in store presentation and layout with regards to the Wii U.

Vita has its own game section in every store i have been in by the way, 3DS does not.
