If Nintendo had spent some money marketing the wii u properly, sales would have been better, and they would have been far better if there were some halfway decent launch games. the one "must own" game per 6 months is not a viable strategy. There are other great games on the system, but only mariokart has the large "grab" audience at the moment.
I had similar reactions from people who notice my pad on the charger. However they can ID the Wii remote and white accessories associated like remote driving wheel so it tells you that there is a disconnection.
