The weird thing is havent seen many good holiday deals, u would think retailers would bw trying to get rid of these things. 360 is as low as $99 and PS3 as low as $149 yet Wii U is still $299 at most big retailers on black friday.

I'm gonna guess retailers weren't happy that they overstocked Wii U for much of the year and aren't willing to take any loss on existing inventory. Nintendo may also not be willing to eat a further loss for Black Friday sales. 

That and Black Friday deals generally tend to center around products people actually want, lol, maybe retailers feel Wii U just isn't a big ticket item. 

I just figured there would be, even Vita was $179-199 with a game last year.

And this year, zilch for Vita. Just one deal on a memory card lol. WiiU has a couple of bundle deals at least.
