UK Retailer Confirms It’s Ditching Support for Wii U and Wii U Games… Sort of

This reminds me of the late Gamecube era, when UK retailers already stopped stocking GC consoles and game... Which made me very disappointed, because that was the only console I owned from this generation.

The UK was never really fond of the Nintendo consoles, anyway. They're all about sports and shooting games.

Yeah I remember when Dixons Retail Group dropped GameCube within 12 months of release. And that was back when they were a pretty prominent video game retailer.

For people saying that a retailer like this doesn't count though, Supermarkets are a huge chunk of the UK game retail space now and Tesco (15% of the UK game market last year, 2nd to Amazon), Sainsburys and Morrisons also don't really properly carry Wii U anymore.
