Fun fact: PS3 pre-orders were sold out as well. |
The difference is that the PS3 didn't sell out the day after pre-orders opened. Nor did it sell out at every retailer.
ShopTo.net (big online video game retailer in the UK) is reporting the Wii U just smashed their largest console pre-order figures.
It's not the fact it is sold out that is of significance, it's how fast and how wide the sell out is.

The difference is that with Wii U, and the controller specifically, is still supply constrainted (Nintendo has not mentioned that they ever resolved it), they probably put a low number for the amount of preorders...so how fast it sold out is irrevleant becuase we dont have a number.

ShopT.net's report just contradicted what you said.
How can they have the largest pre-order totals ever if their allocation was restrictively low?
|
Less people ordering online back in the day?

I was actually in the process of trying to find more information about Shopto, e.g. when did they open for business and stuff try to make a virtual apples to apples comparsion. Its one thing for a company like ATT to say that preorders are extremely strong for the iphone 5, then give out numbers, and another for a website i personally never heard of say "hey guys look at us! mega sellouts over here" and silent on any number or percentage.
