I think I read somewhere (Then again, I could be totally making this up. I'm not entirely sane.) that Nintendo can track stolen systems online, now. Or maybe it was Microsoft. Anyway, I don't see why it would be difficult for Nintendo to track the consoles if they have the serial numbers, as long as someone uses the console online. Find the person that used it online, send Bowser and Donkey Kong to their house (or law enforcement) and remind them that it's a crime to buy stolen property--even if you didn't know it was stolen.
In the past, I've registered devices and looking online, it would tell me if it was a pink PSP or a 60GB Xbox 360. Batman would find those stolen consoles in no time and now, Batman is available on the Wii U.
