Yep, I've seen them all over too. Not rare and not a deal.

Depends on where you live. No target store near me has any in stock. Both Best Buy near my house don't have any in stock. Heck the GameStop I had my name on the waiting list hasn't called me about any stock.

I really just think it depends on where you live to be honest.

The time to report them being online somewhere, is when Newegg starts selling it straight up for $350. No tax for many. Unfortunately only sell it as a bundle. :(

The shipments probably just haven't made it to your area yet. Every single nearby Target for me shows them in stock, I cannot believe that my area is just that lucky.

Just for kicks I checked out Ebay, looks like the only ones with bids are the ones at or below retail (or include games). Santa came early this year and he had a load of Wii Us in the sleigh ...

yeah these can be found pretty much everywhere around me. The two Gamestops around me have four of each version in stock since black Friday. When Ebay prices are priced retail then you know that demand on these are pretty much meeting the supply. Either way laughing at El Hoardo who believed that they can make a killing on these on Ebay.

I returned my black Wii U on Wednesday after my son says to me, I no longer want a Wii U for Christmas since there is only one good game for it (referring to Mario).

He told me to wait until there are more games and it gets cheaper. 11 year old CAG in training.

The Target I returned it to had 4 black Wii Us and 6 white on display.

I keep reading that these are rare and hard to find, and I really think it's overblown. Everytime I go out to Target, Walmart or Gamestop there are consoles available in both configurations.

There's also a bunch of clowns on craigslist trying to see them over MSRP, which makes me weep for humanity as I'm sure some poor, ignorant grandmother will be conned using her memory of the previous Wii's demand.

Thing is these things will never get cheaper until the next model is close and that's years away. Might as well buy one if you want one (at least within the next year or two) as there will be no price drop anytime soon unless it's a special sale. Also, my area has them in stock too everywhere, even the frickin' Wal-Marts do and that's usually the hardest hit store in the tri-state area I live in. I'd say either Nintendo did their job and had plenty ready this time or maybe it was the lack of release games for it, as wasn't there less than 10 games for release?

Wii was popular because it was fairly cheap and Wii sports was a huge hit to people that normally didn't play video games. Wii U is trying to compete with ps3/xbox, core gamers are not gonna buy a nintendo.

Wii U - 400k sold in its first week.

PS3 - 197k in its first two weeks in the US.

X360 - 326k in its first two weeks in the US.

Wii - 476k in its first two weeks in the US.


Obviously someone wants the Wii U.

I have looked at every store I've been to since this was released, just to see what demand was like. I saw them in stock at a Meijer for the first time yesterday. They had 2 of the basic units. Every Target and Wal-Mart I've been to has been sold out. I'm guessing the closer we get to Christmas, the harder these will be to find.

I'd like to know how you can say with certainty this wont happen. History certainly disagrees with you. I still think a price drop comes to compete with the nextbox.

didn't the 3ds have a huge price drop shortly after launch?
