And remember, according to Vgchartz the Wii U had been selling at above 60k for 5 weeks at the end of June, so it would be reasonable to assume that retailers would start ordering more at that point. So I agree with Seece, the Wii U being overtracked is more likely than some people would like to admit. |
While you may be right, isn't it also plausible that retailers were slow to start ordering more fearing that the trend wouldn't continue and they'd be stuck with excess Wii U's again? I know when I go to some local stores their stocks of Wii U games are terrible, so despite Wii U on the rise and selling decent software numbers many retailers are not ordering that many copies of games...
I think retailer confidence of the Wii U is low and slowly improving.
If the Wii U is still undertracked, I don't think it is by much to be honest.
