They are STILL making it sound like an add on? Whoever is in charge of Nintendo's marketing and PR needs to be sacked ASAP, or otherwise this thing is doomed this holiday.

Stop posting subjective ideas as if they are objective facts.

Posted this yesterday in the community thread:
I think issue is that there is a rotating cast of characters that post in WiiU threads and you are easily identifiable. Most who post in WiiU threads already know your opinions. You have not really developed any new ones in relation to the WiiU. I saw your discussion in the Vita sales thread. I don't think you are a troll, but to some it comes off that way.
This is a problem in the WiiU Hardware Discussion Thread over in community as well. Same folks, same information and opinions. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
In a way there isn't really much to talk about when it comes to WiiU. They aren't going to give hardware details and they are being very stingy with information and game reveals. We don't even know the other games in Nintendoland yet!
If you take a "wait and see" approach then there's not much to really say in these WiiU threads. I mean you can only tell everyone that you are skeptical so many times before they all know it.

Man, that picture of the system...it's like they're purposely trying to confuse people. I foresee chaos this holiday season with parents thinking it is a Wii add-on.
"Why can't I just buy the screen and use it with the Wii? That's a picture of the Wii, isn't it?" Come on, Nintendo. I refuse to believe you don't see the problem with that marketing.

Sure, but just because I am skeptical doesn't mean news doesn't interest me at the same time. As you said, you saw my views on the Vita in the Sony thread. Just because I am not raw raw for the Wii U doesn't mean I am not a fan of Nintendo, just like with how I feel about Sony. I am not a fan of a corporation nor a supporter of a hardware manufacturer. If they release products that I find worthy of a purchase than I purchase said product.
I really hope that the Wii U is successful and Nintendo broadens and improves on all of the features that will be part of the Wii U. I would love nothing more than to enjoy Nintendo IPs again, just not going to jump on the bandwagon so fast.

good one
They really haven't gone out of their way to differentiate them outside of saying it on Nintendo direct. I figure the blue game cases are their way of making sure people know the games are different, but the hardware may be a different story.
The 3DS may have had this problem at first, but it seems to have worn off. I think once people starting seeing the price and boxes they'll realize it's a different system entirely, but they have been really quiet in this period before launch.

I seriously doubt Best Buy would allow him to take pre-orders unless it was real.

Black as a launch color? Thank you Nintendo.

Man, it just really looks like a new handheld. Forget people confusing it with a new controller for the Wii. Nintendo's got a tough row to hoe messaging this one.

Sadly, in the vg store in my town they have the darkness 2 boxes and there's no mention to the wiiU.
I don't trust about the bestbuy/gamestop/etc preorder, anyone who work there could make a shopped image and write false date on it.

Start ignoring me if you cannot recognise subjective ideas unless there's something like "in my opinion" or "I think".

Yeah, and that's because they are confirmed games in development.

You keep telling yourself that...
I assume you mean Darsiders, and it's probably because it is launching before the WiiU

I thought this was already confirmed. The black model is listed as an option on Nintendo's site after all
Not to be Debbie downer here, but what are the legit sales expectations of COD on WiiU?
I can see folks who are already getting a WiiU picking up the game for their new console, but (like COD Vita) I don't see the folks who already have a 360/PS3 shelling out for a new console and COD.
Or is COD WiiU just exciting because it's a sign that WiiU is getting some 3rd party support that the Wii didn't get?
You trying to say that Last Story might not get released?

Glad to see that some unannounced games such as Black ops do exist for real and they may be also coming to WiiU in the upcoming months, still it baffles me how ridiculous a leak this is, considering how secretive Nintendo has been so far; a leaked shot of promotional material, they could as well reveal this at E3...
edit; if it's a fake, never mind.

The Wii versions of CoD all sold around or just above 1 mil except for MW3. So I would assume probably around 1 mil is their expectation.
I never thought about it, but for the people who were dedicated and bought COD Wii this is likely going to be a huge upgrade.
Probably a gag order by MS. They pay good money hats to keep CoD close.

I would say 1 million + would be the expectation. The Wii versions of Call of Duty sold quite well.

? Both the Last Guardian and FFVSXIII have both been recently confirmed to still be in development, and Black Ops 2 WiiU isn't exactly the best kept secret. Hell, members of the press have heavily hinted at already playing it.
This is Huge. Just hoping they have some(a lot) better security. Wii was hacked to hell

Confirmed to be in development so stockholders don't get upset at how much money was wasted on developing games that won't be released. Also, media confirmed to have played Wii U BLOPS2?

Don't believe everything PR tells you.
The WiiU relies on USB HDDs for storage. If that isn't a sign that the console is going to get hacked to hell and back, I don't know what is.

Has COD for WiiU been confirmed by the publisher?
You're telling me... I'm not sure my body is ready. Although I did play Cod 4 on PC, but that was awhile ago now.
But ya, after 3 or so years of Cod on the Wii I'm pretty sure my eye's and brain are going to explode from visual orgasms.
This made me laugh more than it should
The 3DS relies on standard SD cards formatted in FAT32 yet it still has to be remotely near being hacked. When a year and a half after release people from EOL (the biggest homebrew-centric Spanish community) are still absolutely clueless about the machine and just hoping one ot the dozens of "hacking teams" that reap donations are for real and not just a scam, you can safely say they're never going to work it out. Not even the DSi has been completely opened, only in DS mode. It's just a matter of having a tight security and don't leak the private encryption keys like a retard like Sony did with the PS3 and even Nintendo themselves with the Wii having the same one as the Gamecube but just in uppercase.
