So putting a downer on this is not correcting overly optimistic Nintendo fans now? Right. So which one is it? Do you hate to put a downer on this or do you love it?

You don't need to answer, the question is rethorical. I know your spiel.

I don't like put downers on good news for WiiU (the fans don't get enough of it obviously) but I love correcting optimistic fans (In this case the enevitability of people thinking it's all green from here on out) I raised a valid point that gets ignored across other discussions. WiiU stock at retailers will be low because of the circumstances. If people want to ignore that and pretend otherwise that's their problem.

I suggest you stay on topic instead of character assassinate lest you want to stay unbanned.

That bundle is GOOD looking. I mean, who sees that and doesn't want to buy.

Nintendo is getting a little bundle crazy though, maybe lie off for a bit.

In the US Wii U sales in September tripled from the previous month thanks to the $50 price cut and Wind Waker bundle even tho it was only available for 1/2 the month. Since then sales have been pretty steady on a weekly basis selling in the 20-30k range compared to 7-10k in the previous months. In Japan Wii U sales jumped up to nearly 40k this week with the new bundles. Even tho shipments for this new bundle may not have been alot, the fact that it sold out is a good thing. These things show retailers that Wii U Is a desirable product at the right with the right games so shipments this holiday should be pretty decent.

Nintendo needs to provide more stock. A new Walmart opened like 10 minutes from me, a huge store expected to draw in business from 4 cities and they sent them... 2 bundles. Went Friday when it came out around... 3pm and they were gone already. None have come back in since. So this could be amazing demand and sales, or could just be shitty supplies being sent out.

They had 84 of these on eBay today they sold out in 2 mins

Right. You hate putting downers on good WiiU news so much that you can't help but pop up in virtually every single thread with anything positive about the WiiU. Everyone knows what you are doing, and I am pretty sure you know too.

I suggest you just stop pissing on every WiiU parade you can find if you're not man enough to handle being called out for it. I am not going to pretend I'll go crying to the mods about it though.

Anyway, to go back on topic lest I will find myself banned: Great new for the WiiU, no matter how large or small the shipments were it's better that they sell out than not sell at all. Coupled with the great numbers from  Japan it will be interesting to see what the WiiU will do in the coming weeks.

Actually that guy had 1400 bundles that were sold at $250 in 50min, then he put another 85 at $265 that sold in 15-20min

The Wind Waker bundle seems to be moving slowly in my area, the NSMBU bundle is doing better, but retailers didn't order as much of the NSMBU bundle because they loaded up on the Zelda one.

The Zelda bundle kinda is a ripoff by comparison, NSMBU + NSLU is basically two games on content that are newer, Wind Waker HD is one game and an old game at that, just re-upped in HD.

I think there are going to be a lot of $250 Black Friday deals for Wii U for both bundles which sold help move consoles.
