I'm not surprised. I saw some in the shops the other day and the dust covering them was insane. That alone will put people buying off something which is meant to be brand new and costs over £150.

I continue to believe it has something to do with the controller. That thing is just so uninviting.

I don't mean to turn this thread into a bashing war, but I kind of agree.  I was playing around with the Wii-U controller in GAME today. It was lighter than I expected, which was good.  But from an aesthetic standpoint, it just... looks, wrong.  I don't know how to describe it really.  Too much white plastic everywhere.  I feel it could benefit from a bigger screen.

 

OT:  I was also in CEX today and I actually noticed they had increased their Wii-U space from half a shelf to a whole shelf.  So there's that!

Kinda weird that £189 isn't shifting more consoles though.  That's a pretty substantial reduction.
