The Wii U is sold out all over Japan and Nintendo isn’t talking

Basically Nintendo had a slightly better holiday than they expected.
In Japan they've been keeping production shipments low to avoid excess inventory.
Now they have a shortage and will need to ramp up production again which can take time and be costly.

Basically the Wii U isn't lighting the sales charts on fire in Japan so this is really the only explanation I can think of. It's the worst selling Nintendo console of all time there so theoretically there should be plenty of stock, seems like they just didn't produce enough. Especially when you look at their sales forecast and notice how close they are to hitting it. So it seems that they just produced exactly enough to hit their forecast, not expecting to exceed it. It does look like they may exceed their forecast, but probably not by much. 

 

Slightly... hahaha yeah They were definately expecting a 100k selling week and holidays similar to 2013, wii u's best year, ( when it had killer bundles/offers, which probably you don't remember) and smashing 2014. That with pricey bundles of splatoon and super mario maker. Come on zhuge, rethink it...

What are you trying to say?
