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

That's more than X360 or PS3 sold for an entire year after having "sold out" at launch.

 

It pretty much settles it. Read this Pezus.

I'm sure Reggie will offer people $1,200 for any Wii U they can find on sale if they don't believe they're sold out.

LOL, Sony still owes me about $15K  for all the PS3 I have found gathering dust in shelves when they said that.

 

I believe it was Kutaragi ?

loved the guys from pennny arcade just went out to the shop down the street from them and got 3 after he said that just to take the piss out of how he was living on another planet and then they donated um to a kids charity if I recall, those guys are fucking bros.

 

hmmm looking back on it... I wonder were they the first 3 ps3s sold and was it the best marketing move in history! :O

Fun fact: PS3 pre-orders were sold out as well.

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.

Pretty much. I remember reading about the Dreamcast selling out in Japan.

wasn't half the reason the wii's took so bloody long to make at the start being that they are made from half gamecube parts which were in semi manufactured GCs at the time, if I recall correctly the Wiis GPU is the one right out of the GC with an Arm9 tossed in longside it for some more "power"

I saw the Uncharted 1+2 combo pack for 15$ at my local pawn shop and I live in Fredericton. I'm sure you don't need a bundle to purchase that series at a bargain...

Get a WiiU man, it's a no-brainer.

The PS3 is $250 normally though. $199 + 3 of the best games on the system is an amazing deal. 

Meanwhile, Wii U costs $100 more with no game, or $150 more with one game. 

Just depends on how much you're willing to spend, poroporo.

The thing is, if he didn't already own a ps3 I'd see his need. But he owns one already, the WiiU seems to interest him so I was thinking it's a no brainer. I wouldn't say that if  I felt I was being biased, so I said that believing it honestly.
