According to a report from Japanese magazine Nikkei, the Wii U seems to be having stock issues in Japan. The magazine is an in-depth look at Nintendo’s financials for later this year, but makes mention that since January many shops in Japan have put up signs stating that the Wii U is out of stock.
This sparked rumors that Nintendo might be about to drop the price on the Wii U, but Nintendo has denied that. The report states that rumors suggest Nintendo is restricting supplies in order to avoid unsold inventory of the Wii U.
