GameStop almost at pre-order allocation on Wii U
Deluxe sold out, and Basic won’t last much longer
Store employees are being told nothing about the possibility of additional stock or when that stock might arrive. The number of pre-orders for the Wii U has surprised the GameStop employees that we have spoken with, who admit that they didn’t think it would take off for pre-order as it did.
According to our sources, in all likelihood GameStop will get additional inventory of the Wii U to sell, but it is difficult to say in what kind of numbers it will arrive. With the news that supplies will be tight and the number of units available in North America will be limited, it would seem that many will not be able to get the Wii U that they seek for the holidays.
