What makes you think Amazon doesn't sell the Wii U? http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=wii+u
As for the Vita and PS3, I was doing that because LeoJ is one of the biggest Sony fanboys around ... He can't claim that the Wii U is doing poorly without also admitting that the PS3 was doing abysmally when it launched, or that the PS-Vita was comparitively DOA |
I'm not trying to be argumentative here, but Amazon doesn't sell the Wii U. They've never had it in-stock. They also do not sell the Wii or the 3DS. Those are all third-party sellers. This is a known issue between Amazon and Nintendo. Rumor is that Amazon isn't happy with Nintendo over profit margins, though there are also rumors that it had something to do with how Nintendo responded to the large amount of returns on the 3DS.
"Gamers who prefer to do their shopping online will be hitting a snag when it comes to Nintendo's next home console, the Wii U. The launch date and price of the system were revealed yesterday, and stores like GameStop and Best Buy are already taking pre-orders for the system.
Amazon however, is not. People have emailed Amazon and signed up to notified when the system will be available from the online store, but shouldn't expect to hear back anytime soon. Amazon sent out massive emails for people who were interested in the console with the new.
"Thank for you signing up to be notified when the Wii U is available. Unfortunately the Wii U console is not available at Amazon.com at this time but please check back in the future, as availability may change," read the email.
A while back Amazon stopped carrying the Nintendo 3DS, and didn't stock the 3DS XL unit either. As the email reads, people will only be notified when the system is available, but can't actually pre-order it from the service.
Amazon and Nintendo have been mum as to why the companies aren't working together anymore. Of course you can still buy Nintendo items from Amazon sellers, but Amazon themselves aren't stocking current or future Nintendo products." http://www.examiner.com/article/the-nintendo-wii-u-will-not-be-available-for-purchase-through-amazon
As for the last part, yeah, I can't fault you much there after reading his comment. Your post was so long that I didn't realize it was a response, it just felt like a random shot.
