Slow Wii U sales?

[The 1 2 P]

I was pretty shocked that the 7 year old Xbox 360 out sold it.

That isn't unusual. The first few months of a new system usually has a contrained supply so they still get outsold by the older systems for a few months. Come next March or April we will have a much clearer picture of how the Wii U fares against the 360, PS3 and even the Wii.

Fry's Electronics has actually been advertising Wii U basic bundles for $350 that include Nintendoland and the Sonic Racing game. Since the basic is $299, and Nintendoland is $59.99, and I think the Sonic Racing is at least $39.99 or something... Anyways, basically Fry's is taking like a $35 hit on this bundle. They must have got way too many basic systems that they are having a hard time selling. Kinda crazy to see something like this BEFORE xmas.

That's not crazy, that's just Fry's.

I used to live like 5miles from one and they do weird crap every year many times of year holiday or not. Back when Uncharted 2 came out they sold it for $49.00 instead of $60 for example. They often do both advertised and unadvertised weirdo random sales on brand new stuff that just hits the stores or a week or two after they hit to draw people their way instead of elsewhere. I find it was like they randomly do weird Amazon like price slashes on all sorts of goods.

Yeah, Fry's rocks!

I picked up Far Cry 3 for the PC from Fry's. They were selling it for $39.99 a couple of days after it came out. They always have bundle deals available for consoles and handhelds too.
