GN Version 4.0
- Tesco will stock Wii U but warns that it will only support it “to the levels that its market performance dictates.”
- Sainsbury’s has vowed to keep selling the console

“We fully support all Nintendo products, including Wii U. We’ve just seen very strong release performances of Pikmin 3 and New Super Luigi U and Nintendo’s digital offering is also going from strength-to-strength. Nintendo has proven time and again that they are experts in the market. The incredible growth of the 3DS over recent years is testament to that and we are looking forward to their plans for developing Wii U over peak and through 2014.” - GAME CEO Martyn Gibbs

- HMV’s Phil Browes says Wii U is currently in the range
- The Hut is already working on ‘multiple initiatives’ to help boost Wii U sales this Xmas.

“We are in no doubt that Nintendo will remedy the poor hardware sales with excellent new titles for peak and into next year.” - ShopTo purchasing director James Rowson
“As we’ve seen with 3DS, software sells hardware, and with titles such as Zelda: The Wind Waker HD and Super Mario 3D World this year, as well as Pikmin 3 and New Super Luigi U having reached No.2 and No.6 in the charts, we’re looking forward to the year ahead on Wii U.” - Nintendo spokesperson
