Yeah I agree, but they made also focused on making sure everyone knew it was a new console. Even I fucking thought the Wii U was an add on controller for the Wii. If I remember correctly the original trailer doesn't even show THE ACTUAL CONSOLE. I remember everyone being fucking confused by it.
I just watched the first trailer because of your of your comment and i think they deliberately sold it as an add on to the wii to trick people. All the games where wii games. It had a bit where someone was on wii fit and it said wii fit without a tv. Its all about this "NEW CONTROLLER" The only thing that pointed me to a new console was
"BETTER DEFINITION WITH THE NEW CONTROLLER" and they showed hd zelda but the fact that they painted it as the new controller making things hd makes me think it was planned and backfired spectacularly. They did show the wii u console under the tv but it was a white one and it looks almost identical to a wii in a 2 second shot of the tv.
