All the stores around me have a good size Wii U section. It's not huge but they got all the most wanted games. Nothing like the one example you gave us. Mind posting a pic of the Vita section(which is 7 games big if your lucky at stores around me).

Well I'm no longer at the store, but the Vita was like you say 7 games if that.  I found one PSTV though.

Alright, now I know you're lying!

I feel like making a thread of me going to my local Target and showcasing the Wii U section (because its ALWAYS sold out there). Then I guess that would disprove this thread right? :-/

My Target I think has a better Wii U section.  Hasn't really changed it's shelves all year.

Not if it means the retailer had a clearance sale and hasn't bothered to restock. O

So the games are selling so fast they can't keep them on the shelves!!!

There's not really much point to this thread because the results will be different depending on where you are. You can find a store out there with lots of the worse selling systems doing much better than the better selling ones. It means very little, though.

don't worry, it's because they can't keep up with the demand

No they don't. I visit the Mall that Target is in at least once a week, and they get Wii U's by 2s and 4s. If anything they tend to do that with the Nintendo 2DS (been on sales multiple times for $99.99). Most of the time I see one or none Wii Us behind the glass shelf.

Also what's even more interesting is that my Best Buy is always LOADED on Xbones (Even more than Wii Us). Not that it proves anything, but I've seen tons of PS4 sales while only seeing one XBONE sale ever...

Again, crap proof, but if OP wants to share personal experience...
