"“We believe it was a strong start,” Minagawa said in a phone interview from Kyoto. “Just as the Wii sold out at many outlets on its debut, the Wii U is also out of stock at the retailers.”"
Really? Sold out? I thought Nintendo learned from its Wii launch and had more available consoles:? How can Wii U sell less than the Wii but still be sold out? Someone is lying.
OT: The Wii U is being sold at a loss so that explains the stock thing.
