What I learned from pre-ordering the Wii U at gamestop

Now, the first thing I learned was about the pre-order numbers. Gamestop has evidently been really pushing pushing Wii U pre-orders, and they've been getting them. According to the clerk (one of the best employees I've ever met BTW) they've gotten TONS in just the first few hours, I saw two people getting pre-orders as I went in (both getting at least a half dozen games). Since this is just one store, and if this is happening at all Gamestops (heyheyharold's status seems to further prove this), That's a lot of pre-orders. And it's just for the first day. Seems extremely promising to me.
The second bit of news is about Smash bros. A guy in front of me asked about it and the clerk said that Gamestop had it listed under a classification that GS only uses for titles that will have info released about them very soon. This obviously is nothing concrete, but.... it's hope.
Anyways, who else went to pre-order the Wii u at gamestop today?

The people who are pre-ordering today are obviously fans, so add those sales to casual gamer sales. A lot of sales, am I correct?

And I also learned that it is $25 to pre-order IF you already have a GameStop account, otherwise it is 50. And also, at my GameStop at least, they said that since I pre-ordered first day I'm GUARANTEED a Day 1 Console.

But yeah, I pre-ordered mine on Gamestop.com. Wanted to go ahead and get my order in there. I actually cannot wait for this console to release.

Prordered it, put $150 down on the Deluxe edition. When they answer the phone their greeting is "Thank you for calling GameStop where you can now pre-order the awesome Wii U!"

But aren't all per-orders day one guaranteed?

If there's too many pre-orders, they may exceed the number actually shipped to the store. Thus, not all pre-orders are guaranteed day one.But aren't all per-orders day one guaranteed?

I'm pre-ordering tomorrow after school. I'll share anything interesting I manage to hear.

Well, I'd hope they'd let you know beforehand, so you can go elsewhere.

Not if they have too many, then it's first come first serve. I had to wait 2 months even after preordering the Wii.
