Important to clarify, it's not that we don't have cognitive ability to set two different systems apart, it's a simply matter of not knowing Wii U existence Wii U was released when YouTube and social media wasn't as present as today. To discover about a new console we either need to be advertised about it or discover through world of mouth. Wii U was so unsuccessful that I don't have a single acquaintance who owned the system, i.e. no word of mouth. Except by die hard Nintendo fans, console system followers and people from countries where Nintendo advertises massively on TV, newspapers and so on (like USA, Japan and maybe western Europe) the Wii U was so uneventful that is more likely that costumers didn't notice the system retail release at all |
I would also add, that if you not are particularly interested in a topic, but occasionally buy an item, you might not realize new releases. For instance, I don't know about each new graphics card releasing, because of lack of interest. Still I obviously use one in my computer. A die hard fan might follow the releases at Nvidia and AMD closely though. But what I notice are only the standouts. The standouts in consoles for Nintendo were Wii and Switch. I can easily believe that even people that bought one or the other never noticed the WiiU.
