This won't do much. Most people aren't so stupid that they don't know the Wii U is a different console.

You'd be surprised

yes you would. if conversations with my coworkers are anything to go by (and I think they are) most people either have no idea the wii u exists at all or no idea that it is a new console. Nintendo have thus far failed to adequately promote the machine to anyone outside of game forums and video game sites. they could've easily avoided a good deal of the confusion by simply calling the damn machine wii2 but NOOOOOOOOOOooooooooOOOO, that would've been too obvious.

At least they do seem to be addressing their mistakes, but I fear the cost may already be way too high.
