UK Supermarket Giants Wage Wii U Price Wars to Clear Shelves
The other day we reported on a UK-based supermarket giant
selling off Wii U 8GB Systems for only £99. It seems this deal
was just the tip of the iceberg, as more recently even better
deals have been doing the rounds in Tesco and Sainsbury's stores
around the country; unsurprisingly stock has been disappearing
rapidly.
Wii U Black Premium 32GB Lego City Undercover Bundle - £84.00
Instore @ Tesco
Wii U 8GB Basic White - £89.99 @ Sainsburys National
We rang up Tesco in Preston to confirm the validity of the
receipt below, and it is legitimate. Naturally all of these Lego
City 32GB bundles are sold out already in that store.

Here are some other bargains that have been doing the rounds at
Tesco:
Nintendo 3DS stock clearance £44.00 instore @ Tesco Widnes
Nintendo Wii Mini 8GB Red Console Instore @ Tesco - £29.00
New Wii U Pro Controller - £10.00 @ Tesco
While it's great to see such amazing bargains on the UK high
street, what do you think this means for the situation which the
Wii U finds itself in? Could it be a deliberate effort to
increase the UK install base and recoup money from future
software sales? Surely anyone can agree that £84 for a premium
Wii U with a game is a steal?
Alternatively, retailers could simply be clearing shelf space
for Nintendo's upcoming launch of the New Nintendo 3DS and New
Nintendo 3DS XL. Nintendo's overall coverage in UK supermarkets
is typically limited, and these retailers may be cutting their
losses to shift unpopular inventory to clear a little space for
new products.
As always, let us know your thoughts on these developments.
Also, we'd love to know if you snagged yourself a bargain too!
