Why Mario Kart 8 didn't save the WiiU

Just because it is sold out doesn't mean it is limited, just means your local stores don't have them in stock and are probably gonna get some more soon

Plus you can always order online, I even checked, Gamestop doesn't have any in a store near me, but I found it at Best Buy and Walmart

That's not the case, every retailer I called/visited said they weren't going to be ordering any more stock. I tried EB Games/Gamestop, Walmart, The Source, Best Buy, Future Shop, Target, Game Center and eventually a small chain called Video Games Plus had 1. Most retailers already took it off their website too, actually all of them did. There is no more Mario Kart 8 console listing online in Canada except for eBay.

A quick search that took me a few seconds only, and lo and behold....

...there's plenty of stock available at amazon.ca and walmart.ca.

Oh.....when I chacked Walmart.ca there wasn't even a listing for Mario Kart 8. Best Buy, Future Shop and EB Games/Gamestop cleared it from inventory, like so (All WiiU consoles available): http://www.ebgames.ca/browse/nintendo-wii-u/systems?nav=131c8-6f

Also the cheapest one on eBay was $450.......I did most of this research through my phone when I was mad searching for a console.

I hope BB and Gamestop restock, they sell a lot more systems then Walmart.
