Bundles for Walmart Canada are selling out as well! (2/4).

http://www.walmart.ca/search/Wii%20U


Looks like there's some of price cut promotion going on there though, $259.99 for a Wii U (any bundle). 

Err .. wait the NSMBU and Zelda bundles are in stock for $259.99. Any Canadians wanting to jump on, that's not a bad deal. 


They were probably alloted alot more stock for those two bundles, however,  I can see them being sold out as well in the next few days.

I do hope this translates into some nice sales. The last time we heard it selling out at Gamestop and Target (about a month ago) didn't seem to mean much other than retailers ordering minimal units.


I think it's probably more likely this. Some people got really excited about that last month and we know Nintendo had a terrible November.

My guess is retailers are not ordering a lot of Wii U inventory from Nintendo having been burned by sluggish sales all year long so what they are ordering is getting priority placement in store locations for the holiday rush rather than online inventory. That would make more sense. 

Retail gets priority over online, the last thing you want are shoppers coming into your store on Christmas week and being greeted by empty shelves because you decided to keep units in your warehouse for online. 

yup thats what it looks like to me, wal-mart even dropped the nintendo wiiubundle with nintendo land to 249.99 and have another special here

this happened so many tiems before, so its hard to believe that it means something.



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

No, Walmart usually has goon deals on systems for Christmas. Even the Mario/Luigi and Zelda Bundle are $259.99. If this equates to a substantial increase in sales compared to previous weeks, Nintendo should definately take note. ($249-$259 would be the sweetspot for WiiU imo)

The only bundle sold out there is the Nintendo Land one, which would make sense as its discontinued.

100$ discount a sytem in its first year is kinda huge imo. if it get anothere price drop like this, you could get a brand new wiiu for 150$ just in 2 years. early adopters getting you know what.

It's been sold out at a considerable amount of places actually. Amazon was bone dry a few hours ago.


Amazon doesn't sell Wii Us or any Nintendo product for that matter. All listings for Nintendo products are third party vendors charging more than retail. Nintendo really needs to fix their relationship with Amazon. They are only the largest retailer PERIOD.

amzon here sells WiiU stuff left and right so no idea what your talkin bout


Search for Wii U and 3DS on Amazon. Open each listing and scroll down to where it says "sold/shipped by" All are being sold by third party vendors for over retail. Amazon hasn't sold Nintendo consoles in a long time.
