Funny that you mention this. 

 

Just like pretty much every games retailer, Gamestop were bullish on the Wii U.

They noted that they had nearly 500,000 customers who had registered interest in buying a Wii U and over 1.2 million software reservations. They noted that this was double the demand that they'd seen for Wii and that this meant that the console would likely have a strong launch. They even went as far as saying that they might not be able to satisfy demand. 

WiiU actually had a decent launch. It's what came (or rather, didn't come) afterwards that killed it.

Yep. Around 1/3 of the Wii Us in the world are from the launch period.
