NOTE: This is about Japan. Whether or not this has any impact on other markets is pure speculation.
The retailers' meeting about the Wii U, mentioned with the last Nintendo Direct, has taken place. I'm withholding the number of units so as not to have a negative effect on the big retailers, but they're lower than everyone is expecting. It may become a competition for pre-orders, so be ready if you're planning on buying.
Of the 3 Wii U sets -- Basic, Premium, and Monster Hunter -- the Basic Set allotment will be the most plentiful. Most respondents to this blog's survey wanted the Premium or Monster Hunter sets, so those planning on buying those 2 types may have a tough time.

Sinobi said:昨日の「Direct」で岩田氏がお話していたように「Wii U」について流通向けに説明がありました。某大手サイトに悪用されないよう台数は控えますが、皆さんが想像している以上に少ないです。予約は争奪戦になると思われますので、購入予定の方は相当覚悟しておいて下さい。
「Wii U」はベーシックセット、プレミアムセット、モンハンセットの3種類で発売されますが、ベーシックセットの配分が最も多くなるようです。当BLOGのアンケートでも大半の方がプレミアかモンハン希望でしたから、その2種類を購入予定の方は輪をかけて困難になりそうです。
