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.

I never said it would aid the lifespan, just have no impact on lessening it.

And why would retailers in other parts of Europe, the US and Japan give a damn how it sells at ASDA?  If it sells for them, what do they care that ASDA does with their shelf space.  If retailer A does badly but retailer B does well, they aren't going to pull product just because retailer A didn't do well.  That would be stupid.

As for Vita, retailers pulled the product because it didn't sell in their own stores, not the competitors.

 

Hell, local UK retailers they probably love this news because it means more sales at their own stores.

The problem is that is not selling well in any retailer and ASDA situation will not add more sales to them. Wii U is not doing good in any retailer worldwide.
