Nintendo has confirmed that Wii U supplies on launch day in the UK will be “tight”. The shortage of Wii U consoles will be so severe that UK retailers won’t be able to fill all the pre-orders, according to reports. This is more bad news for Nintendo, which recently revealed that the company will be taking a loss on every Wii U sold<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s rumored that only 25,000 Wii U consoles will be available in the UK on launch day. A source from a UK retailer said that the UK would receive around 100,000 Wii U consoles during the “launch period”, which will span a few weeks after the Nov. 30 launch. Nintendo said they will provide retailers with “regular stock deliveries” of the Wii U in the run up to Christmas. <\/p>\n

This is in stark contrast to the original Wii, which sold over 100,000 units during the first two days on the market. By comparison, 25,000 Wii U units doesn’t sound like a lot. When the Xbox 360 launched, it sold about 75,000 units in the first few days on the market in the UK. <\/p>\n

The Wii U launches on November 30 in the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe, and will retail at \u00a3230 for the Basic set. <\/p>\n
