Over the past few weeks, it’s become apparent that finding a Wii U in Japan isn’t quite as easy as it was a year ago. Why is this so? Respected Japanese outlet Nikkei published some speculation today that Nintendo is “restricting supplies to avoid unsold inventory.”

Here’s an excerpt from a new article on the website:

“In Japan, since late January, signs saying ‘Wii U is out of stock’ have begun appearing at game shops across the country. That has sparked rumors the company might be about to cut prices, though Nintendo denies this. According to the rumors the company has also been restricting supplies to avoid unsold inventory.”

Of course, this is only a rumor at the moment. Whether or not Nikkei is correct is currently unknown.
