| Fusioncode said: So The Big Bang Theory and South Park did their own versions of the console wars pitting Sony and Microsoft against each other. Though the WiiU was missing from the attractions. Now this is a sign of a bigger problem, that the WiiU isn't seen by many as a next gen console. I personally think it is a next gen console but public perception disagrees with me. Of course what does it matter if the WiiU wasn't on The Big Bang Theory? Who cares? Well it's free advertising. The Big Bang Theory is one of the most popular shows on television nearing 20m viewers an episode. Essentially, Sony and Microsoft just got a free 30 minute advertisement on one of the biggest shows on TV. That's a huge missed opportunity for Nintendo. Nintendo needs to make themselves seen as a direct competitor to Sony and Microsoft or else the public will never take them seriously. |
I think you answered yourself. Public perseption doesn't put Wii U as a next gen console, at least not as a competitive one in the console wars.
