At every console launch, I buy 3 consoles. One for me, and the other 2 on local ads and every time I get the money back for the console I kept, making it free! Well this time I only bought 2, kept the first one, and put the other on craigslist (its called kijiji in canada) for 550$ for a 150$ profit, never got a single call or email. I put it at 400$ a month ago, which is the price I paid with taxes, and got one call and a trade offer for a used ps2! The local ads are filled with brand new wiiu and I saw a lot of deluxe selling for less than the MSRP, even deluxe bundle on ebay. This is the most cold reaction I have seen for a console launch EVER, hardcore Nintendo fans bought it on day one and a lot of resellers, and I suspect the big stores will have a lot of returns of unused console from resellers after xmas. The number of consoles resellers bought is HUGE, just look your at your local craigslist and ebay. I remember Nintendo panicked with 3ds sitting on shelves, Im very curious to see what they will do. Im not sure even big names like zelda and mariokart will save this one. And yes, I like the console, its very cool tech and affordable, but I feel like keeping the wii brand and confusion for casual gamers with the regular wii might kill it. Its already filled with tons of shovelware a month after launch, people are pissed on miiverse and draw shovels everywhere on crappy game forums!
