The reason for limited stock would be atrocious Wii U sales in the past. Retailers don't have much faith in the console anymore, so they ordered stock in limited quantities.
Your opinion that the Wii U could have been saved is the reason why certain people keep piesacking Nintendo fans. |
Something tells me you're going to be eating a lot of crow once the gen is over.
Nintendo can sell their own consoles. It's not because NSMBU bombed that the U is doomed.

Was Nintendo able to sell N64 and GC well enough? No console can sell without third-party support especially with such a terrible hardware-price ratio.
Also Nintendo games aren't good and varied enough to sustain Wii U sales.

Nintendo alone sold more first party games on the Wii than the cube and xbox sold games in total. Nintendo can sustain a console alone.

But there was literally no standalone wiis, they were all bundled with one or two nintendo games, the Wii i bought came with both Wii sports and Wii sports resorts, approximately 130million of the softwaresales nintendo had on the Wii was from bundles, if you subtract that from Nintendos sales on the Wii 400-130=270, so they really "only" sold 270 million standalone games, using that number (and subtract the bundle sales from total software sales as well you) you end up with a publisher ratio of about 34%. Using that figure we see that the three best selling nintendo homeconsoles are coincidentally the three nintendo home consoles with the lowest publisher ratio.
