The reason behind this issue really is that the console itself doesn't look too different from the original Wii.

Hence, they showed off the gamepad to highlight the difference but it backfired and came off as a peripheral. What they should've done was design the console itself to have a more unique appearance in the first place.

Pretty much this and the name could have been better.

 

Nothing too wrong with those images as the focus should be on the gamepad. Just the rest is what let it down/

To be honest it would have help A LOT if the launch of the console would have included a game like Super Mario Maker or Splatoon (or both) games that make the console feel like something really new and a great showcase for the possibilites of the gamepad. Instead of that they released games that looked a lot like its predecessors on Wii (NSMBU, WIIU sports, Tropical Freeze, etc), they weren´t succesfull on making the console feel new as a whole, of course the confusing name, design and marketing is a biiig part too but I´m pretty sure WiiU would be in a totally diferent scenario if SMM and Splatoon were the launch games.
