So I walked into my Best Buy tonight and the nice display demo unit for Wii U they had featured is no more. Setup are shelves and racks for both PS4 and Xbox One, which I have no problem with.

 

The problem I do see is that they have not setup the display/demo unit again and the 3DS, Wii and Wii U stuff is all jammed into one half aisle. There isn't any room or area I see open that they could use to set it back up.

 

Have you been to your Best Buy lately? What is the status at yours?

 

P.S. Also to note is the 3DS demo unit is not there anymore!

My Best Buy never had a Wii U display, but the 3DS still does.

It's down to lack of sales, 3400 world wide in the space of one month means its not worth the shelf space!

No way on earth Nintendo can turn this ound now. :-(

Depends on what you mean by turn around. You can forget 100 million units.

But when games come out people want to actually play I can see a healthy 20-30 million units. That is all the need.

Wii U will be a first party only machine. But it will work

Agreed 30mil tops, Nintendo did market the console as being good for 3rd party and so called core gamers, this is the part that's sadly failed.

Not even any sign of the Lego marvel demo yet and 360 had that up around a week ago....
