Nearly as soon as the words about the Wii U’s availability passed Nintendo representatives’ lips, it seem as if a number of major retailers began taking preorders for both devices. And as quickly as they began taking preorders, they began selling out of preorders. Both versions of the console are completely sold out on Best Buy’s online store. Target only appears to have the eight-gigabyte version available, whereas Toys ‘R Us only looks like it’s stocking the 32-gigabyte version for online shoppers.
Gamestop, which was also offering a $50 trade-in credit for those owning an original Wii console (and looking to sell), has sold out of all of its preorders for the Deluxe (32-gigabyte) version of the Wii U. According to Polygon’s Megan Farokhmanesh, it only took a few hours for eager gamers to eat up nearly half of all the available preorders for the Deluxe version of the console.
