I completely understand you being pissed... I would be too. But you have to realize that there are a lot of people clamoring for this system at launch, particularly now for the holidays. Nintendo can't just magically pull more out of thin air. Despite some of the silly theories you may hear on the internet, Nintendo is not purposely withholding units; they're shipping everything they can, as they would love nothing more than to build up as big of an install base as fast as possible. The more they sell, the more games they sell - and the more profit they turn.

If Walmart was taking more pre-orders than they could fulfill then that's their fault. But it really just sounds like the reality of WiiU's popularity this holiday and demand outweighing supply.
