UK Retailer ASDA has dropped the Wii U console from its shelves, opting for a more online focus for the flailing hardware.
ASDA confirmed MCV to confirm that the Wii U had been available since launch at around 100 stores instead of the full 555 roster, and will not be stocked on stores shelves for the remainder of this year. However the hardware will be available again shortly on Asda Direct, the company's online service, with consumers given the option to deliver to their local branch.
The Nintendo 3DS, however, will continue to be sold as normal given the increased demand and performance for the system. Like the Wii U, it will be available to purchase online again shortly.
What are your thoughts on the lack of the Nintendo Wii U on ASDA's shelves?
