Wii U sold out practically everywhere

Posted on November 19, 2012 by John Scalzo

Are you still looking for a Wii U? Then you’re in luck, because they’re in stock at…

Nah, I’m just yanking yer chain. Nintendo’s most recent console launch is sold out for all practical purposes. Target.com and Walmart.com both list the Wii U as available for in-store pickup, but after a frantic round of phone calls, I learned that not a single store from either retailer has the system in stock in Western New York. Your location may vary, but I think it is safe to say that Nintendo has a sellout on their hands (and definitely ignore the Target press release that says they still have them in stock).

However, if you really NEED to acquire a Wii U today, there’s always the secondhand sellers at Amazon and eBay.

Rockstar “considering” other platforms for Grand Theft Auto V

Posted on November 19, 2012 by John Scalzo

As of right now, Grand Theft Auto V has officially only been announced for the PS3 and Xbox 360. But what about the PC, and more importantly, the Wii U? Well, according to an IGN interview with Rockstar President Dan Houser, anything is a possibility.

IGN: GTA V is only confirmed for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Why not the PC, Wii U and so on?

Houser: Everything else is up for consideration. That’s all I can give you. The main thing is we are not… we are a third-party publisher. We’re not Nintendo, we’re not Sony, we’re not Microsoft. We love all of them in different ways. But we can do what we want wherever there’s the appropriate business opportunity and chance to find a market.

So there you have it. It’s not not coming to the PC and Wii U, but nothing is ready to be officially announced. That said, I would be shocked if Grand Theft Auto V didn’t make it to the PC and Wii U in some form before the end of 2013.
