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.
