And if they think that launch is disappointing, brace yourself for the other consoles...



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I remember when the wii came out, you couldn't just walk into gamestop and purchase it. it was sold out for a long time if I remember correctly. The wii u just came out and I could walk into any gamestop and they will have plenty for sale. I heard the wii u would be sold out for a while just like the wii, but that is not the case, so I imagine it is not doing as good.

@Kitler, I'm a numbers person. Give me numbers. I'm a business analyst by education. I don't use words like "abundant" or "low". If I did, I would have failed university. I would use specifics. I don't know what Mr Bhatia's qualifications are, or where he gets his numbers that no one has seen and he hasn't revealed, but he has told us nothing but his unsubstantiated opinion. I substantiate mine. WiiU is selling at 81% of Wii, it's on pace to sell at Nintendo's shipping projections. This tells me it's selling at the level it's being shipped. This means it's supply constrained. You can bring me up in various threads or make mocking comments, but until you have numbers that contradict me, you're only making yourself look foolish, childish and insecure.

I work for Gamestop and the Wii U is not supply constrained.

*sigh.

 

Please give me the information on shipments of WiiU received, and sales of said shipments. I am specifically interested in ATII or Average Time in Inventory for one WiiU console. I am looking for the data chain-wide, not for one specific store. Thanks.

@kain. Read Superchunk's thread for the numbers.

No way Im giving official numbers as I have zero interest in being fired.

That being said if you want a Wii U gladly walk into any of our stores and you will have no problem finding one
