It's a Network load / volume issue. I think 1 million Wii U's are going online this week so its' to be expected. Day 1 was noticeably slow. Things were very smooth 2nd day... and it will only get better.

but nintendo should've taken care before as it was clear to them that this load will occur. and btw: has situation changed on psn? is it faster now or still slow? last i heard was a while ago.

Easier said than done. They are not able to test a workload of hundreds of thousands connections. They just can start the whole thing, throttle, watch, tweak and improve. If it stays that slow until the end of this year, you guys can go ahead and blame the crap out of them for being lazy and behind again.

ehh... nintendo knew how big the update was. nintendo knew how much wiiu's they delivered. multiply, done. also they could've contacted the cdn-provider before as they have proficient knowledge on network-load for sure.

i don't want to blame nintendo alone, perhaps they just chose the wrong cdn. to me, this is not a big issue as i expected something like this. if it had been perfect at start i would have been surprised.
