Doesn't show for me.

Didn't show for me at first either switched to Chorme and it showed up now it shows on Firefox and Chome.  Looks like at least 30 unsold Wii U premium editons.

As I thought. The only conclusion we can draw from this is that WiiU is doomed.

Must be.....

Leo-J could be telling the truth and it is still meaningless because it is based on his (biased) perception of how sales went, and even if his perception is relatively accurate it is simply 1 data-point with no way to control for socio-economic and regional differences that make his store not representative of national sales.

Essentially, I suspect that a Best Buy on the wealthy side of town in a prosperous region of the country has dramatically different sales trends than the Best Buy on the poor end of town in a economically challenged part of the country; and even at the same end of town the Walmart and Best Buy will have dramatically different sales trends.

Even then, with Leo-J's history I wouldn't trust the picture ... There is no evidence that this wasn't after the store was re-stocked and there is no way of knowing how long those systems sat there.

When the Wii was new and sold out everywhere I knew of a store (Zellers) that always had stock first thing in the morning on Sunday because they advertised them in their flyer, their flyer was in effect starting Sundays, and it is illegal in Canada to advertise something for sale that you don't have in stock. Knowing this, I ended up going on multiple weeks to buy the systems for friends and family; and there were many times I could have taken a picture of a full display case. This picture of a full display case wouldn't have been evidence that the systems weren't sold out elsewhere, or that the system stayed in stock there for long.
