The Official Wii U Thread

[winb83]

yup, i always sell them as soon as i get them, more shipments will be coming soon and especially with online retail being so hot as it is now compared to 05-06

with the Wii stores started holding their stock till Sundays. it really wasn't hard to get a Wii at all it was just something you couldn't walk in a store any day and buy but if you waited till a Sunday it was in a retail Ad and posted up at the store an hour before it opened you could get one easy. personally i don't think this is gonna be that hard to get.

back when the PS3 came out people panicked that first day and the things were selling for $1500 i sold mine the second day and got $1200 within a week people realized it wasn't that big of a deal and things never were that good again.

logically this makes sense but it doesn't play out like this. profits are always best on launch day to the first week and gradually go down as you get closer to Christmas. by the time its almost Christmas the people that haven't already got one end up doing gift cards or going with alternative gifts. these are the people that can't afford to pay way over retail and that's why they held out so long.

in the case of the Wii U before these things hit retail they were going for about $490-$520 on eBay. many of them on launch day are going for $465 now so they've taken a hit in value.



things you don't get: the deluxe program where you get $6 coupon code off every digital game you buy for 2 years after the first game.

included copy of Nintendoland.

a decent amount of storage space. meaning now you don't have enough to hold many of the larger games on your console. Wii U disc go up to 25GBs in size.

stands for the console and the controller.

I can use an SD card though right?

no, needs to be an external hard drive formatted for Wii U which can no longer be used on a PC in that format. up to 2 TBs

i'm gonna look into it but i think you can only use that for backup storage. i think you have to copy the game to the internal memory to run it.

i have faith in the homebrew scene if anything....

actually with many products this is true, but I did this with the wii when it first came out, I actually have a resellers license and my biggest mistake with the wii was selling them on the first week and only getting 150+ profit. after black friday and the holiday rush, I was getting them from my suppliers and putting 30 on in a day or 2 and selling them for 1500 and making a serious profit. I feel the same thing is going to happen because the type following nintendo has. regardless, if i wait I will get more than the profits I am seeing on ebay today.

i don't think its working at the moment. it wouldn't let me on.

been playing Scribblenauts you basically play the game on the controller and the TV duplicates the controller's display so its pointless to use in this game. i'm beginning to see the potential of this system. to some extent this thing is an HD home console version of what the Nintendo DS was. two screens with one being touch screen. as good as the DS was the Wii U has great potential.
