Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia has offered some insight into sales of the Wii U. Agee noted that GameStop sales this holiday fell below expectations in terms of both hardware and software. Available stock at the retailer is apparently “abundant.”

Bhatia wrapped up with the following comment:

“Our conclusion is the Nintendo Wii U launch has been slightly disappointing.”
