from my black friday outing i saw wiiU at 2/3 stores. i'd say stock is currently tight but wiiU is certainly attainable. i have a feeling those who pre-ordered to flip them on ebay are going to get screwed.


good, I hate those fuckers.



http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=wii+u+32gb&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=0&_okw=&_oexkw=&_adv=1&LH_Complete=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=200&_fpos=&_fsct=&LH_SALE_CURRENCY=0&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=50

450 is a 140 dollar profit for me


More power to you, I have no problem with you making a profit, I just don't like it, though it's prolly cheaper for people who are over seas at some 3rd world country though.

On ebay it appears about 4,022 were sold while 4,097 went unsold so far, I am going to bet the majority of the ones on ebay will end up selling



the unsold ones also have a high reserve or buy now option. the ones selling are the ones that are for over 400 and under 500. I put mine up on craigslist for 450.



Which is your break-even price when you add sales tax ebay/paypal fees and shipping. Atleast you won't lose $$.

I will at the very least get a 40 dollar profit. I only spent 310 (tax included) on the 32gb.



The white ones are available the black are hard to come by. At least in Albuquerque NM.



i hope ninetndo floods the market with the wii u and all the greedy people on ebay have to seel them for what the console is really worth

We have two whites left now here. After six months nintendo may want a price reduction on white.

I would remove the basic package and have a white delux instead.



 

 

I have a feeling It will be sold out around Christmas time, But only for a couple of days, maybe 2-3 weeks.



How much do you think the Wii U will sell week 1 in the United States? I'm thinking between 650,000 - 800,000 units. Just for the sake to show the press and investors that the Wii U sold better than the Wii its first week! What do you guys think?

I think You're about right, I'd bet around the same Hopefully it hits a million.

BTW You play FFXIV I assume? Did you play on the Last day of 1.0 closing? I can't wait for ARR!! I loved 1.0 But it din't have so much content.

I used to play FXIV and was even one of the few customers who bought it a launch and I can tell you boy do I regreat it -_- However, I have now pre-ordered it for PS3 the 2.0 version as it really looks better and might I add that the ending of 1.0 was A M A Z I N G!
