Today, when shopping, I visited some toystores in the Netherlands. All three of them, Bartsmit, toysXL and Intertoys, being the biggest chains in the netherlands, apart from games dedicated shops.

Just as last week they really where very low on WiiU games stock. Some of the older games, whats old when the console isnt even 1 year old, where missing. I wanted to buy Injustice, Deus Ex or even Assassinscreed bf, but none of them where available......yet, the 360 and pS3 shelves did have them.......

I am in the US, and our local Best Buy took down the Wii U Demo Kiosk a couple weeks back and never put it back up after setting up PS4 and Xbone branding. Our local target seems to carry a fair selection of Wii U games but some of the latest releases like Assassins Creed IV and Call of Duty Ghosts was not in stock ( i don't think they even ordered any ) .

 

The best store locally for me is Toys R Us. In general I have found they have cleanest and most organized gaming section in any department store. They had every Wii U game in stock including new releases.

Yeah, it was like that a few months back....but now, it just felt like they gave up. How can Ubisoft judge Wiiu sales, when the games are not even on the shelves.

Problem is that it comes down to the store ( at least I believe) as to whether or not they want to order and stock a certain item. I know my Target a couple months back didn't stock the Scribblenauts Unmasked when it was released however they mentioned the other Target ( not too far away ) did stock it. Hopefully with the holidays, online sales and the stores that do stock Wii U stuff will be enough to make the stores re-think things and carry a larger selection, which I think will happen.

Great bit of kit, but in my opinion it's failed badly. After the Xbone & PS4 launch the third party support for WiiU will die.
Nintendo have really screwed up on a great console. Shops seem to of dropped all sopport now and are betting on the others.

Let's face it only die hard Nintendo fans would buy the next console after this disaster.

Yeah, the Wii U bombed so hard. So many things about it make me scream internally.

Don't get me wrong I still hope it sells really well over Christmas
This month I purchased three WiiU games and by the look of it the Nintendo version of new releases take a few days longer to get in the high street large stores.

Me neither until last week. And I tried Heerlen, Sittard and Beek.
