Forums - Sales - Wii U sold 40K units during UK launch (CONFIRMED)

Is there a soccer/football game out for wii u??? They're the only games uk people get boners over and no console sells well in the uk without one. It's a proven scientific fact!

I hope you are trolling. This is the first time a system has sold out here since kinect. How is that a failure?

It is still available on many online stores, I don't think it has sold out.

Those were the first 3 stores I checked, can't be bothered to check any more.

(Kinda low... but not sold out. Especially if you can reserve it before you leave your house. That way you are guarenteed it will still be there when you go buy it)

and

Wii U 8GB Basic Pack (White)
Argos Cat No 912/8835
Reserve & Collect at
16 Stores.

Not sold out at all

Bad numbers. Looks like my Wii U purchase will wait until Nintendo shows a Zelda game.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


I'm kind of surprised that the basic bundle is still around considering that is the one game claim to have ran out of wasn't it? Ok then guys. Lets say wii u is a flop here. Now we can give it 10 weeks. That is how long it took vita to sell 100,000. Then we will be able to tell which is the bigger flop here since both are flops.



One more thing to complete my year = senran kagura localization =D

have to give nintendo a multiplier for the Wii U being a nintendo product and a non handheld.
