good thing I preordered mine from amazon.it. i will get it maybe not on launch day, but at least I'll get it (and cheaper)
I don't think anyone is worried about not getting it, they just want it on launch.
Italy's gonna be in shortage as well.
FUD.
You can still pre-order with certain retailers for release day so I doubt this piece of news.
good, cos we don't buy games or consoles anymore
That's what I was thinking, UK sales have been abysmal. They should ship half of those to the US or another European country that buys stuff. I'm just joking, mainly, but if some UK stores still have preorders, and the stock is this low...
You can pre-order from Tesco. They are still this very morning listing the Wii U as available to pre-order for delivery on launch day.
I went for the ZombiU console bundle from Zavvi. I am prepared for disappointment come the fateful day...
So when we hear about it selling out we know that's more because of a lack of supply than demand itself.
What. Is it that way for Scandinavia in general? Because in Denmark pretty much every store is still taking preorders for the basic and the premium bundles. Haven't heard anything about the basic bundle being delayed.It's kind of the same in Norway. The basic pack won't even come at launch day, but on December 5th. Most stores will only get one or two ZombiU bundles for launch, and none after that. The Nintendo Land Premium Pack should be easy to find, though.

Its not that easy. They would have to reconfigure each system since UK consoles are designed to be placed on the left hand side of the television.

It is delayed in Norway, and we have the same distributor as Denmark. Perhaps they get so few at first that they allocate all of them to Sweden and Denmark, since those are the biggest markets? Wouldn't surprise me.
It's an easy way to guarantee day 1 sold out news.
Oh more stock arrived just in time for Christmas!! How weird.
Can't believe the console is coming out in 3 weeks. From how quiet things are you would think it's 6 months away. Reminds me of the Vita launch which just kind of showed up in stores one day.

Typical Nintendo strategy. Understock during launch window to generate buzz / make it look like it's an hot item.
Or their production plans/lines just suck. (which I doubt)
I still haven't seen a single ad or anything resembling a mere mention of it on TV. If this was Sony or MS (well, at least MS) they'd be hyping this up as the event of the year and slowly building up to some flashy mega reveal.
The eBay scalpers are going to be out en masse.
Take the £30 and invest in some camping gear.Well I just got some terrible news. Apparently my credit card had to be canceled because they feared it was compromised. Phoned up Sainsbury's and the only thing I could do was cancel and reorder. Luckily I was given a £30 discount code so I didn't lose out on that. But now I see that the French retailer is warning you had to preorder before a certain date to get it so I'm really hoping this won't be the case for me since I've moved all the way to the back of the queue. Only light is that the ZombiU pack is sold out whereas the Nintendoland pack isn't.
What a day.
Why do I have a feeling that there are going to be more than a few of us with paid Pre-Orders that don't get a Wii U on Launch day?
