    I have absolutely no interest in the Wii U, but that didn't stop me from calling my local best buy to see if they are in stock (they are).

    The wii u line at best buy looks pathetic. I don't think it's gonna be hard to get ahold of this holiday season.

    Hearing there are lots of spare Wii Us out there is making me feel kind of itchy in the style of @jeffgerstmann.

    No line at Gamestop for the Wii U, assuming because they're pre-order only. Figure I'll queue up if people show up.

    In line for a Wii u and am amazed at the video game interest and knowledge of many of the older ladies here, this is a new era.

    Waiting in line for the Wii U. About ten people here. Which is great, but the next Xbox and Playstation will cause ten times that.

    My plan to wake at 4:00 am and speed to Target for a Wii U was... over zealous. I got here at 7:30 instead and I'm eighth in line. #win?

    I drive by Walmart this morning expecting to see a huge line up for the wii u and there was no one there #shocked

  15. The line outside Great Clips is 4x the length of the Wii U line where, 2 minutes before GameStop opens I'm still alone. http://pic.twitter.com/rNhP70AL

    No Wii U line at my local EB Games. In fact, the only people in the entire mall are me and the mall walkers! :P
