Wii U Consoles Already On Sale On eBay


As you can see in the above picture, Wii U consoles have started to appear on eBay. Prices are currently ranging from 365$ to 620$, with other gaming websites reporting seeing some for 1000$ and more.

This sometimes happens in this industry, but most of the time it's games, not consoles. With so many shipping to gamers homes, what will happen ? Will we see Youtube videos of all the games, weeks before their release ? Will reviews appear on gaming websites before they're due ? Will forums be full of spoilers ?

And there's one other thing. Since the Wii U is supposed to boot into Miiverse, will the console even work ? I doubt Nintendo has already implemented Miiverse. I guess they can play the included game(s).

It will be interesting to see the outcome of this.

  1. Often, what happens is once you paid, the seller tells you I'll ship it as soon as the game is released. It is often seen for collector edition games on kijiji. They are bidding on a fear of shortage and for the international buyers as well. Just like the Wii launch where people couldn't get a console for christmas. Look at he screenshot, one ships the day after the release, another ships in december.

    of the pictures aren't loading properly. I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
    I've tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same results.
