I'll put you easier. Explain to us how this doesn't harm the Nintendo perception in the biggest market in Europe and how with this pitiful sales are they supposed to last 2 or 3 years.

1. ASDA hasn't really sold Wii U much anyway since launch.  So no real change is actually going on.

2. Germany and France are bigger Nintendo markets in Europe than the UK.

3. 99.99% of the market in the US and Japan don't know or care about Wii U hardware sales from ASDA in the UK.

4. ASDA accounts for a very small percentage of UK sales.

5. The UK accounts for 5% of overall Wii U sales worldwide.

Your move.

1,2,3,4,5 and all the ones you like to add: UK Is the biggest market in Europe. Germany and France being bigger for Nintendo in sales doesn't mean UK is not a bigger market, which clearly has affected Wii U sales in all the continent. And pulling off any product of your company out of stores in never a good sign as many other retailers could follow, just like what happend to Vita. Less exposure is by no means good.

BTW, I want to know how will this aid the lifespan of the console.
