UK retailer slashes Wii U price significantly to move stagnant stock

You could check their website...oh wait...you can't. Looking pretty bad for them if you can't even check their website to see what is in the store.

Anyway, does it really matter what package they are selling for 40 pounds more than a PS3 with a huge library of games? Nintendo did really well last time making a last-gen console with a last-gen price...if they had stuck with that model (or made something to compete with the PS4/XboX Next) they would not be doing so poorly.

The wii was only so popular due to the wave things around and smash ur nice new expensive tv fad, i dont know anyone who is still wii mad. Considering the size of the wii u, many die hard wii fans sti have rsi from the 1st console and have been told not to lift heavy objects... either that or having one game on two screens is just to much for the casual gamer to get there head around.
