I've been seeing similar lines in other ads online as well, not just Toys R Us here. This leads me to believe Nintendo is the one that came up with this sort of statement.
You need a TV to play Wii games. Turn it off and you may find that while you can still technically play the game, your information feedback will be vastly reduced, which may result in an inability to play proficiently.
I know what they are trying to say, this is a sort of "get together with the family and stop watching the idiot box" gamble that countless companies have used before. Make it a game night! Yay! Pfft. Too bad this only shows marketting people are SO out of the loop they only dedicate clock cycles to the actual ad itself and little details like HOW THE MACHINE OPERATES.
