Slightly disappointing would be accurate. It wasn't a MAJOR FLOP, but it hasn't done ANYTHING to capture even a single "imagination" as nintendo surely hoped lol.

The only thing the wiiu launch made me want to purchase was a PS4/720 next year.

Unless your imagination is named "single", stop being so presumptious.

The Wii U is not supply constrained.  Period end of story at ANY retailer.  Wal-Mart, Gamestop, Target, or Best Buy.  That doesnt mean it hasnt had a successful launch however.  It has done pretty well.  That being said calling Wii U supply constrained is a flat out lie

Anecdotal to be certain but I've seen in sold out at my local Wal-Mart every time I've looked for the past 2 weeks.

I'm not claiming that to be a chain wide situation or maybe I've just had the unfortunate luck of always showing up prior to the shelf being restocked but there have certainly been store specific sell outs for Wal-Mart (who are known to sell the bulk of Nintendo products in the US).  I agree that it's unlikely to have had enough of an impact to call it supply constrained.

 

That said, this report is far too vague to be of any real value other than use for fanboy debate fodder.
