Pie and Beans
Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
It really is beyond just poor advertising, it's no advertising. Which to me means it's intentional. Which in turn to me means they're planning on effectively 'rebooting'. Ironically that will only work if the product is out of Joe publics minds completely (you can't really reinvent yourself whilst everyone is watching, so to speak)
I really am expecting a big advertising/promotion push in the next couple months. Hearing that Nintendo will be talking to retailers to outline their plans to improve sales "over the next few weeks" only compounds that belief.
Advertising what? Pikmin 3, Game & Wario? Maybe they have truly wild expectations for Wii Fit U to somehow recapture the same exact market with the same thing again but now you can see your fat arse's kilo weight numbers displayed in HD? Other than a big ass trade price decrease, not entirely sure what they can alleviate retailer concerns with other than a pledge of "at least a game a month for the rest of the year" and even then I don't think they can promise that.
