10k shipped in 3 months. Retailers overstocked after Christmas 2012, so they basically didn't need to order any more units. |
This makes the most sense to me. The wii u was selling like 25k a week world wide. Something like 4k in Europe. Asda in the UK couldn't get rid of them and sold them for half price. £199 or even less for the deluxe back in June. Here lies a prime example of why there were so few orders.
The way I see it retailers just kept hold of the early shipments and didn't bother to order any more because the sales were so bad - as you said.
But things are looking better now. If only slightly.
