Clear out? Comparison of sales and shipments showed that there were no wii u stock in Japan as of March which means that they're selling what they ship! Consequently, there isn't any excessive stock that they would like to clear out, unless you mean inventory at factory! However, given Nintendo's struggling to sufficiently stock wii u, after the unexpected huge holidays for them, due to splatoon and super mario maker, thus constraining the supply, implies that they were left with a small amount inventory.
They're probably still manufacturing wii u, at least for Japan ( unless there is a way to get stock from outside of japan and modify it ), and I know it's something that you don't like, eh?
Wii u sells on a stable pace, 4k every week ( Essentially, it sells out, since it seems that Nintendo ships 4k every week and it depletes ) , even after NX news! For sure, the demand is higher than that, so Nintendo finds a way to meet it, by making again a bundle with the biggest wiiu-seller game of Japan....
And NX is being released in one year, Nintendo doesn't have to make some money till then?
