A promotional flyer given out by US retailer Target suggests that the company doesn’t actually know what the Wii U looks like. The latest flyer shows a Wii U GamePad with the Pikmin 3 logo resting on a black Wii console. There’s always the possibility that this will confuse consumers just a little bit more.

Understable considering there are some that believes the gamepad is a Wii addon.

Seriously Nintendo are idiots. First thing I noted was that the system looks like a Wii (why would they release a Wii console that looks like their next one is beyond me).

Lol. I've never been more ashamed to be a Target employee.

At least it is advertised. That's the most positive thing I have thought of.

Again why nintendo shoudn't have had the "wii" in the name.

I think having Wii in the name is fine, shpuld have been something like Super Wii or Wii Ultra. That would be easier to recognize its an upgrade

I honestly don't know why Nintendo had the 2 consoles look so similar and have similar names...

I've seen this in a norwegian commercial too. It was for a company named "Expert."

No it's not nintendo wanted to cater to all audiences with the wii-u, especially to the ones who weren't fond of the wii. Putting "wii" in it's name made the situation worse.
