It's a kid centric video commercial but let's face it, Nintendo need to sell more console.

Here one that not so kid centric

more great commercial by nintendo:

 WiiU Commercials

Here's the first one, you can do the rest

If you market only to kids, you push everyone else away. If you market it to older groups, kids will still want it, and older people won't vomit.

That's kind of like explaining a joke though; it loses the original point. If you have to make a commercial solely to educate people towards one product not being another, someone has made a pretty big mistake to begin with.

This isn't going to help them sell more consoles.

Sorry but most kids that age want iPads and phones. (Even though they would be better off with a WiiU)

Wow... that does make me want to vomit.

There finally got it!!!

It's definitely a risk that these commercials basically hammer in the idea that the Wii U/3DS are the "kiddie consoles", but lets face it, Nintendo always kinda had that stigma anyway and I'm guessing at this point NOA figures they have no choice. 

It may also be an admission of sorts on their part that they can't compete with Sony/MS for the teenager/adult market in consoles or similarily with the 3DS, they can't compete against the pull of smartphones/tablets and are trying to at least get the kids. 

That was probably the best way they could have executed such a commercial. having kids pretending to make fun of their parents for not knowing what a wii u is (with the idea that it's because their parents just don't understand tech).

Good trailer.

Nintendo can't compete directly with Sony and Microsoft, They need the casual family friend market.

The hardcore gamers aren't enough to support the WiiU, once Nintendo start making money of the casual market. That's when you'll see more hardcore Zelda and Metroid games coming out. We already have Super Smash Brother and Mario Kart 8 on the way.
