"Alcune catene inglesi, Tesco e Sainsbury, hanno iniziato a vendere le unità invendute di Wii U a prezzi davvero folli. Non siamo parlando solo della versione da 8GB, che ha aperto le danze da Tesco a 99 sterline, ma anche del bundle della versione da 32GB con Lego City Undercover, venduta per 84 sterline. Sainsbury di suo ha venduto la versione da 8GB a 89,99 sterline. Non c'è nemmeno da specificare che tutte le offerte sono andate esaurite in brevissimo tempo.

Comunque le vendite sottocosto non hanno riguardato solo la console Wii U, ma anche alcuni accessori, come il Pro Controller, e i vecchi modelli di Nintendo 3DS, dati via per 44 sterline."

There must be a translation error somewhere because I can assure you I've not seen these offers.

But if so, it's no wonder sales have increased.

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

89 pounds is barely more that 100€. I'm dying of envy. In my city, a second hand WiiU is around 250 €. New WiiUs are cheaper (220€ the 8gb Smash bundle).

You know it deserves the GOTY.

They were at Tesco for 99 pounds, ($150) for the basic, but the 32 GB claims sounds like nonsense to me. The ones at Tesco sold out in a flash. They had to off old sku's. Also, Tesco did the same with basic xbox360's back when they were still expensive. I think it was like 2008/2009.
