WII U DELUXE EASY TO FIND ON CHRISTMAS EVE
Posted by Steve Hannley on 24 Dec 2012
It seems like just yesterday we were scrambling to get our hands on a Wii U. After being announced, the Deluxe model pre-orders sold out within a day and many were phoned by GameStop and told that even their Basic model wouldn’t be available until after launch. There were reports of people (average gamers, mind you, not the typical crazy person) camping out in front of a big box store overnight so they didn’t miss out on the hotly-anticipated console. Many expected it to be scalped on eBay and Craigslist for over $800. Launch day hit, however, and was met with a decided lack of excitement. Basics were easy to pick up anywhere and even a deluxe could be found if one tried hard enough. Resellers prices stagnated and some were able to pick up the console on eBay at cost.
Many thought that the new console would receive a similar “must-have” Christmas gift status like the Wii, which was hard to find even a year after release. While I was at Wal Mart this morning to uh, do Walmart things, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I stumbled into the electronics department: a Wii U Deluxe model was just sitting on the shelf. On Christmas Eve. Stunned, I snapped a picture of it. After heading to Best Buy to actually buy things, however, is when things really got interesting. An entire stack of Wii U Deluxes just sitting in the middle of the store:
They weren’t just put out and there was no mad dash to get one. Just a bunch of Wii Us sitting there with no one to buy them. I reached out to other staff members and we decided to make the rounds to other stores in Arizona, California and New York (the things we do for readers) to see if the story was the same, and low and behold, it was. Out of 19 stores we visited in total, 16 had Wii U Deluxes in stock and every store had Wii U Basics. Now, it could be that Nintendo simply sent out huge shipments to supply the Christmas demand, but finding the Wii on Christmas Eve, or any day in December in 2006, was nearly impossible. If the Wii U demand was as great as other consoles at launch, seemingly no amount of units would satisfy the general public.
Whatever the reason, it’s certainly an interesting indication of what is to come for the console. Are you seeing Wii U Deluxe in stock on Christmas Eve? Share your story below.
Wii U DELUXE容易找到CHRISTMAS EVE

這似乎就在昨天，我們爭先恐後地被宣布後，拿到手的一台Wii U.，豪華版的預購訂單在一天之內銷售一空，許多打電話給GameStop和告訴記者，就連自己的基本模型將無法使用直到後推出。有報導人（一般玩家，你要知道，不是典型的瘋狂的人）露營在面前的一個大盒子商店在一夜之間，使他們沒有錯過的熱烈期待已久的控制台。許多人預計它被扒了eBay和Craigslist的超過800美元。每天推出的打擊，但是，並會見了一個決定缺乏刺激。基礎知識很容易拿起任何地方，甚至是豪華，可以發現，如果努力不夠。經銷商價格停滯不前，有些人能夠拿起主機在eBay成本。
許多人認為，新的控制台會收到一個類似的“必須擁有”的聖誕禮物像Wii的狀態，這是很難找到甚至一年後發布。當我在沃爾瑪今天上午，呃，沃爾瑪的東西，我不能相信自己的眼睛，當我偶然在電子部門：一個Wii U豪華版只是坐在架子上。在聖誕節前夕。驚呆了，我抓拍了一張照片吧。抽穗後，百思買買東西，但是，當事情真的有趣。整個堆棧的Wii的U Deluxes只是坐在中間的商店：
他們不只是把有沒有得到一個瘋狂。只是一堆的Wii我們坐在那裡，沒有人買。我伸手其他工作人員，我們決定，使輪在亞利桑那州，加利福尼亞州和紐約（我們所做的事情，供讀者）其他店看，如果這個故事是相同的，低，你看，這是。我們參觀的總輸出的19家門店，16 Wii U Deluxes的股票，每家商店有Wii的U基礎。現在，它可能是，任天堂只是發出了巨大的出貨量將提供聖誕節的需求，但在2006年聖誕節前夕，或任何一天後，12月發現的Wii，幾乎是不可能的。如果其他遊戲機在推出Wii的U需求大，看似沒有量的單位，將滿足廣大市民。
不管是什麼原因，它肯定是一個有趣的跡象是什麼來的控制台。您是否看到Wii U豪華的庫存在聖誕節前夕？在下面分享您的故事。
