As long as supply last. I can see Nintendo selling its last stock of Basic Wii Us this was and then discontinuing it.

I know it's last minute and that 8GB is clearly inferior, but I don't get all the complaining. Unlike the PS4 and X1, WiiU games typically don't require enormous patches or installs to play games. 8GB should be plenty serviceable for a lot of people.

Clearly there's 8GB white model stock to clear. They have every reason to put this at a much more affordable price point -- which means Ninty will have some idea the kind of demand they could get with a lower priced 32GB model.

I think these will likely have a solid sell-through by end of December as some Christmas gift giving will likely be pushed into the weekend since the holiday is on a Thursday...

Overall good move. Nintendo has to do everything they can to capture as much momentum as they can now so they can have an even better 2015.

It's a very genius move really.

People are willing to spend more during the holidays so they stuck with their normally priced 32g bundles. When everyone's doing last minute shopping they release a cheaper bundle on the market, hoping to clear out old inventory that normally won't sell.

Obviously a smarter Black Friday bundle would have been better, but this is the best move to make at this point in time. They've already reported all of those 8g models that didn't sell as a loss, so even if they sell them at dirt prices it's a "profit" at this point. It moves unmovable inventory and makes a little money while doing it. There's a reason it's "while supplies last," with a color and model nobody wants.

Anyone that doesn't understand that this move is to get rid of the remaining 8GB stock should get it's head checked.

It's a pretty smart move honestly. Even with the 32GB version you need an external HDD, so no biggie.

Why 8 GB and why so late ?!?

Right on the money. Hopefully, when the 8GB units are gone, they'll make 32 gig the base model and release a 96 GB Collector's Edition or something of the sort. I'd really like to avoid needing an external HD.

How much would the price be in US for this?

People forgot about Mario Kart Wii Bundle

It had to happen.

Man, that 8gb version never goes away now does it? Great news none the less
