Mentioned this elsewhere, but none of my local Morrisons stocked Wii U or Wii U games
from launch. Same with Tesco - three major stores nearby have had no Wii U hardware even from launch, and only had Wii U games mixed in with Wii games in their displays.
The only bricks & mortar places I've seen the system with anything like a decent presence were HMV and GAME - supermarkets don't seem to have had much interest. Same went for the 3DS at launch. After a relatively-big push in my local Morrisons - pre-launch ads etc. - every supermarket dropped it like a rock, with no hardware for months and games haphazardly stuffed into the DS shelves. The situation only really picked up in the past 12 months.
They never even got wii-u stuff in my local Morrison's, I was kind of under the impression that they'd more or less adopted a top/ten only thing with games apart from the £7 stuff they do from time to time.
Yup. Around the time of the 3DS launch I saw their PC section vanish to be replaced by budget stands, the full-price Wii/DS releases vanished and there was just a bargain stand, and they ran a kind of top ten for PS3/360 and that was it. After the rough launch for the 3DS, it reappeared with a small selection of new releases, but Morrisons seem to have cut back on their gaming sections heavily in the past two years.
