This is silly. Wii U's biggest marketing problem is Wii U games. Looking at the current games list there is not much reason to pay $300-350 for games that you can get on your current console. When Wii U gets games that say "I need to get this console to play that," the system will sell. I have a Wii U with 15 retail games and 9 digital. But I'm a hardcore Nintendo fan who sold his PS3 and threw out his RROD (for the 3rd time) Xbox 360. Wii U needs Mario Kart, 3D Mario, and yes Wind Waker HD. Then you'll see it selling well.
When something isn't doing well, it's easy to take a magnifying glass and point out silly, unimportant "issues" and make them "definately the problem." The best way to market your system is not with niche features or gimmicky advertising. You do it with must have games, and if you own a PS360, Wii U doesn't have those... YET!
Ugh... Kelis in the photo. Be careful Sundance that she doesn't divorce you in a couple of years and sue for half your wealth and undeserved alimony...
