Alright guys; I work part time at a major grocery retailer in my area (like Walmart) in their electronics department. I've seen at least 2 promos for the Wii U during my tenure this spring. One was if you bought the Wii U you'd get a free game, any free game valued up to I think 60 or 70 dollars. They had the Zelda HD bundle so technically you could get 2 free games.

Did anyone buy it? No, I never saw any stock moved. Out of all the Nintendo customers I've only sold the original Wii (mini) lol.

I can't remember what the second promo was but it was simialar in value; roughly 60 dollar savings off MSRP on the Wii U. The thing is; no one wants the Wii U. There is literally 0 demand and that's reflected worldwide based on its poor track record.

Hiking the price no matter what's included in the box will do absolutely nothing. It could come with a free blow job and it still wouldn't move consoles.

This is a bad idea and you will be very disappointed with the sales in a few months.
