More on 'tight' Wii U UK shipments, retailers place day-one number at 25,000

GN Version 4.0
The following info comes from retail sources...

- they do not have enough units to fulfill preorders
- roughly 25,000 units to be available day one
- a distribution source working at a separate retailer said the number was "in line with our estimates"
- a third source at another UK retail chain said his team was expecting the UK to receive "anything between 75,000 and 100,000 units during the launch period. What we don't know is whether this allocation will arrive on day one or be distributed across a number of weeks."

Earlier today, we posted a statement from Nintendo UK saying that the Wii U launch day shipment will be 'tight'. Looks like things are going to be tighter than we expected.
