Yeahh, saw that more than 1000% increase, Nintendo doesn't need the re-launch their console, 21 was the day



This makes absolutely no sense. We can assure, though, that after this news, "Nintendo is doomed" threads will stop and "Microsoft is doomed" threads will arise.



the article says amazon.com but the headline and link are amazon.co.uk. 

but .co.uk seems to be right.

Well it worked for me.

I had no plans on buying a WiiU

After seeing the Microsoft conference, I'll be buying a WiiU in the next month

It might have a lot to do with another price drop

http://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/Nintendo-Wii-32GB-Premium-Pack/product/B008B5YB4W

£289 -> £229

yeah this seems to be one major factor, though not as good as the £199 deal 3 weeks ago. On the other hand I could imagine that Amazon has more online customers than ASDA.

Amazon has probably around 10% marketshare in the UK (purely guessed), so yeah the overall change most likely won't be as high. Maybe doubling the UK sales to ~3.5-4k.
Don't think that it will reach PS3 or 360 levels.

hahah noticed that, probably the journalist is sooo pro-Nintendo that he just got carried away. No bump on  Amazon.com though
