Retailers Reporting Wii U Pre-Launch Sellout

Various retailers in the UK are reporting that initial launch allocation has been maxed out.

According to trade magazine MCV, some outlets have even begun putting through orders for future Wii U shipments. That said, the situation is looking to be less frantic than the original Nintendo Wii launch, with a healthier load of Wii U consoles available overall.

It's uncertain whether the report is referring to strictly the high-street market, or if online stores are selling out also.

The Wii U is available on Amazon UK, Zavvi and HMV - with a week to go, it's certainly a good time to grab hold of a Nintendo Wii U before the launch crowds pounce.
