Nintendo has since responded, stating: &amp;quot;Wii U stock levels will be tight on day one. &amp;quot;However, we will be providing retailers with regular stock deliveries in the run-up to Christmas in order to meet demand as quickly as possible.&amp;quot; It was previously reported that the Wii U will be sold at a loss in order to reach its sales target of 5.5 million this fiscal year.
