Will Japan save Nintendo and the Wii U like they did with the 3DS?

I doubt it will sell like hotcakes in Japan. 10 million maybe but Japan is all handheld these days.

Oh and why are we having that supply / demand discussion again? Console makers always promise a huge first shipment and then fail to meet their goal. Always. And how do people know the console did or did not sell out? Did you... read it on the internet? *gasp*

The only thing that people have to really go off of is Nintendo... And they probably aren't 100% trustworthy all the time either. So we have (almost) no clue what's going on with stock.

You sir, are wise beyond your years. All we have is historical data and that tells us that Wii, PS3 and 360 didn't sell better than the Wii U in the US at launch.
