Report: Best Buy also returning Wii U Basic

4.6
Best Buy is the next big retailer sending back its Wii U Basic units to Nintendo. Nintendo World Report has an image pulled from Best Buy's internal system stating "stores should pull all new in box [Wii U Basic] units and send them back" starting tomorrow. It also notes that stores should see more Wii U Deluxe units arrive in the coming weeks.

GameStop is also currently going through a similar send-back of the Wii U Basic.

Nintendo previously stated any notion of a recall of the Wii U Basic is a "misperception" and that the company is "working with its retail partners to simply rebalance the stock of the White 8GB and the Black 32GB Wii U models in the market." The House of Mario claims consumers will be able to continue purchasing both models. The Wii U has struggled since launch, with the regular Wii outperforming its progeny.

Shrill Nintendo is going to die if they cannot make a comeback with a new console.


They will become the next Sega if they don't see an increase of sales with consoles.

Console wise, no but after what they showed at E3 they might be getting out of that rut. They showed a lot of games people wanted and expected. I am more and likely going to buy a Wii U just to play some of those games.

slapshot101 I think Nintendo are figuring out that that people are don't want something that is only 8GB, most people want a little bigger HDD so they can store a good amount of data.


Yeah....but you have to wonder why it took them so long.

It took them so long because what they have done in the past has just release the system like the Wii and everyone liked it, I think they were expecting the same thing from this console but that didn't happen, so now they are revising their strategy and coming out with a whole new approach which does not include the 8GB.

I-DA-KING Nintendo is dying out, Sooner or later there going to realise that there spending too much money on making consoles & need to start to make more games for the next gen consoles


They will turn out like Sega when it comes to consoles. If their sales keep going down, they will more and likely be forced to stop making consoles for a while and focus on games more.
