Rumor: Some concerns that Wii U launch stock will be limited in the UK

CVG, which claims to have been in contact with a host of different sources, is writing that Nintendo may not have enough stock of Wii U units in the UK to meet demand from pre-orders.
The company will allegedly have only 25,000 units available at launch. One retail source said that the figure was “in line with our estimates”.
But not so fast. A third source at a separate UK retail chain said that shipment expectations were at “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.”
