But what does it all mean, Basil?

Saw this on GameSpot just now: http://www.gamespot.com/news/more-than-250000-on-gamestop-wii-u-waitlist-6398860

Here is a quotation from the original article:

"According to Nintendo, Wii U preorders at GameStop have sold out. That, however, has not kept gamers from expressing interest in the new console. Company president Satoru Iwata claimed in new presentation that as of last week, more than 250,000 gamers had put their names on GameStop's Wii U waitlist.

It was not announced how many Wii U units GameStop had available for preorder to begin with."

What this means is that the the people who wanted to buy it at gamestop will have to buy it elsewhere, and it will ripple. It also means that most casual buyers still haven't reserved one yet for their families, since they would probs reserve them at best buy or walmart. When gamers start hogging those, it will explode like with the Wii! Weeeeee
