Nintendo not getting rid of Wii U Basic Set, says it is “rebalancing stock”
Nintendo has commented on the gossip surrounding the recall of Wii U Basic Sets. An official statement states that the company is doing nothing more than “rebalancing stock” of the Wii U Basic and Premium Sets. Those who are interested in the console option “will continue to find them available.”
Nintendo: retailers “rebalancing stock” of Wii U 8GB/32GB SKUs. “Consumers looking for either model will continue to find them available.”
