It's just stock issues, no? I don't think they're actually ending it yet. |
There is a new rumour, which claims that nintendo is restricting wii u supply, to avoid unsold inventory... Some people have the tendency to take rumors as facts.
Personally, I was always thinking that they don't replenish the shelves with wii u units sufficiently on purpose, but because they want to move the demand to pokken tournament wii u bundle which arrives on the 18th of March, anywise stock problems are expected...
Sales in Japan exceeded in a great extend Nintendo's expectations, due to splatoon and super mario maker, which caused a relatively outstanding holiday perfomance, similar to 2013 which was wii u best year, when it had killer deals/offers, and outdid 2014 by approximately double numbers, that with the pricey splatoon and super mario maker bundles. So manufactured wii u stock was nearly depleted, something that Nintendo wasn't anticipating...
Probably, Nintendo was considering that what they sold in a year, it would be sold between two years.
