Aye, tis was a fine game.

I dont but Nintendo said they planned on selling a ton over the launch period so i would imagine a lot

Exactly, no one knows. We shouldn't take it either way.

Even Pachter's body is getting readified.

And last but not least, this guy's body is ready:

If Nintendo had a soul speaking to its fans, it would sound like that.

I think nearly all home console machines sell out on launch day pre-orders. The Wii was a first for the industry though, with such high demand that shortages persisted 6+ months. I don't think that will happen with Wii U, but who knows... it's all some kind of domino effect with shortage creating demand which creates the shortage.

Another fun fact: only at GameStop and EB ;). Not across multiple online retailers as is the case here.

At least as far as I've been able to find.

I'm curious how the shipments compare to the other consoles launch.

We all know Xbox sold out too, but it sold like 4 units at launch due to supply constrains. PS3 outsold at launch too, all 20 of them.

Let's hope Nintendo manufactures more than 100.

Nintendo intends to sell 5 million units before the end of March, so they should have a decent shipment ready for launch.

WiiU will never match PS3. Which will have no shooting involved.

Is this really an ENTIRELY good thing though?

I man, it's great for Nintendo that so many people want their system, but if production can't meet demand, won't that mean lost sales for them? (Surely some people who miss out won't be bothered to chase one up later one the launch hype dies)
