#2Please, please let this be a lesson to Microsoft that gamers aren't interested in gimmicks, and that the casuals who do want gimmicks are far more fickle.

#3Nintendo’s latest export has completely exhausted its initial inventory of stock [..] Moreover, the Wii U only had a couple of weeks on sale in November
So, it was only on sale for part of the month, and it sold out quickly, leaving consumers unable to buy. OK, so it's a pretty much useless comparison, then?

#4Considering the Wii U was on sale for 12 days in November, and the 360 was on sale for the whole month, this isn't as bad as it sounds. And as the article mentions, it's been in and out of stock in many locations (though certainly not to the degree the first Wii was).

#5I'm not surprised. Still don't understand the value proposition of the Wii U, despite the heavy PR and marketing currently in effect.
Why buy a Wii U when you can play your iPhone/iPod/Android and probably have an XBOX/PS3 already?

#7The 360 is on sale in a games bundle for $99. I was thinking of picking an extra one up just because.
The Wii U is a much bigger ticket item.

1.26 million Xbox 360s vs. 425,000 Wii U. Seems to me the Wii wouldn't have caught up even if they'd had more time and more inventory.

I'm highly skeptical of the claim that it sold out. Both Wii U SKUs are easily available in most of the US right now. Supplies were constrained initially, but that has more to do with scalpers buying up every preorder in anticipation of another Wii-style fad, which has clearly not happened. If you look at Wii U auctions on eBay, the few auctions that complete have been selling essentially for cost once eBay fees are factored in.
