Shiken said: I know someone who only learned a year ago that his WiiU he got as a gift and never opened was an actual console, and not a Wii add on. He literally though Nintendo went from the Wii to the Switch with nothing in between...and even had a WiiU in his possession. |
For the record, I only learned about Wii U when I went to internet months before Switch announcement
By that time Nintendo has already left Brazil 2 years before, so unless you were actively looking for gaming news by yourself you had nothing to be advertised over
And even Wii was such a non event here and Xbox 360 was the actual console used to play games such as Just Dance. Nintendo presence on console market outside North America and East Asia was extremely damaged during Wii U era, people here only take notice on their portables, no wonder how it sold less than 1 million outside USA, Europe and Japan
