I don'tknow if they were just replenished. The only place i have visited twice is one of the independents. Sofmap had many bundles in stock at 8pm on launch day.

Amazon and rakuten also have them in stock.

Amazon has no stock available unless you count third parties selling the systems for 4,500 yen to 6,000 yen above retail price.

I just checked yodobashi's online store and they are sold out of both models. Bic camera's site doesn't show either model which likely means they have no stock. Yamada Denki's website also is sold out of both models. 

I wonder why there are so many available in your area. Somebody on gaf said that some places told him more stock would come on the 15th. I'll check again later, but I'm still expecting no stock when I check.

Amazon has never had stock of the Wii U.  Has something to do with a dispute between Amazon and Nintendo.  At least that's what I've heard the reason is.

@OP

Pretty good launch numbers for the Wii U.  Now, we just have to wait and and see if they will hold.  Also, seems kinda strange that the 360 isn't getting any boost at all from the holidays.  Last year, the 360 was at ~3K for the corresponding week, which was up ~1.4K from the previous week.  This year it's actually down by 100 units from last week.  The 360 was always a niche product in Japan, but it seems like even the samll support it got is dying away.

Lol Amazon japan would be in a world of trouble if they were in a dispute with Nintendo.
