So I thought I would point this out: I did some digging through Amazon's Best Sellers list history and found something interesting: despite what people are saying, the Wii U never at any point was sold out this fast nor managed to top a monthly best seller list. It came close a couple of times, sorta. So no, this exact scenario did not happen with the Wii U. There are other factors such as the short window between preorders being available and launch. But in general, the Switch's level of pre-launch purchasing buzz seems to be a good bit higher than Wii U's was.
