I just purchased my Wii u from walmart (my non preordered one) and i definatly do not blame Walmart for this but the glossy finish that Nintendo choose for the Wii U was definatly a mistake.  I mentioned this back in september and not even putting the system on the ground this early morning, I took the tape off and on the back there were already scratches and scruff marks all over the bottom of the system (bottom left pictured).  Now you are going to have those who dont care but I like to maintain a level of refinment for the consoles I but and this to me is unacceptable.  Someone should not have green flagged this move.

 

So, you're saying that your WiiU console came with scratches and scuff marks out of the box?  If so, then yeah, that sucks.  I'm the same way about keeping brand new items (particularly tech) looking immaculate as long as possible, as I'm a sucker for nice aesthetics.

However, my WiiU looks flawless and I love the glossy finish on the console.  The controller, on the other hand, is certainly a fingerprint magnet, but damn, it looks nice.
