I just picked my Deluxe (black system) up, was on the Gamestop wait-list. Didn't pre-order and I already got one, the guy at Gamestop mentioned I was "pretty far down on the list" when I called them back to confirm they had a console for me, he was kind of surprised they'd called me since there were people listed before me. I'm guessing they didn't pick there's up in the 48 hour window or there was a mistake and they called me prematurely.
Wasn't hard for me to get one, but I don't know if I'm just an exception since I'm only 1 customer from 1 Gamestop.
Oh and to answer your poll question, I didn't notice any WiiU's on their shelves, but the guy had to get mine from the back, so if they had any others they were in the back where customers can't see.
