#115391 Wii U Projections + Console and Console Bundles Sold Out

Posted by pack on 06 October 2012 - 01:15 PM in Wii U Hardware

Well the deluxe is already selling for 200 over retail price on ebay ($550) so what do you think it will reach in early/mid december if you think 1,000 is to high of a guesstimate.

#114840 Wii U Projections + Console and Console Bundles Sold Out

1. I think they want to supply enough so that everyone who wants one has one. I'd rather sell more consoles and have some sitting on a shelf, than have stores wiped out and consumers forget about the console after the holidays. (Examples, kids get the competitor products for xmas, loss of interest/hype, etc) Not sure if they can do it since they have had some manufacturing problems apparently.

2. I think they will sell for 200-300 over the price tops.


The reason they limit consoles on release is to create high demand later so that people buy them up as soon as they hit shelves. They create the idea that there is a short supply of consoles for a long period of time when really they have pallets of them sitting in their warehouses in china. Then they can slowly start releasing more and more and they keep selling out. This is why the original wii totally sold out for 3 consecutive holiday seasons. Not saying they are going to do this again but they end up making more money and selling more consoles if they do.



#114836 Wii U Projections + Console and Console Bundles Sold Out

First just thought I would add that of this morning all consoles and console bundles are sold out in the united states. TRU still had some bundles left yesterday but as of this morning are sold out.

Also I have a couple of general questions. None of this applies to me just curious of the answers.

1. on release, will nintendo limit units to increase demand like original wii, or will they disperse plenty of units to go around with little demand

2. IYO, what will wii u consoles be selling for on secondary market (ebay) very close to christmas like early december both the basic and deluxe

My personal guesses for peak selling prices (early/mid december) on ebay are about 500 for the basic console and about 1000 for the deluxe (higher or lower depends on demand after release)

3. any other related comments welcome
