Thread shouldv'e ended 10 pages ago. How many ways can shitty marketing be explained? It's common knowledge that a majority of consumers didn't know about the Wii U release, while XB1 and PS4 had release parties covered by all the major gaming networks live and such. So even those who don't follow gaming would've heard about it and seen it trending in social media.
Hell, XB1 was kept under water for christs sake, they made spectacles of it.
The blame falls wholly on Nintendo for failing to promote their new console effectively. If Consumer's don't know about the product that constitues a real emergency. By Launch Day, Nintendo was already too late, the die had been cast.
Even with PS3 and XB1 that had pretty bad launches, people still knew about their releases.
Name means nothing, it's how people hear it.
