Damn, that is a lot of Wii U consoles.
There are a lot of mistakes in the article. A source has confirmed that Wii Us were stolen.

What's the point if you're not to going to steal quality?

 

[GamerzHell9137]

It seems its Wii U not Wii

 

[Foxi4]

I heard that the new Wii prices are a real steal, but this is going too far.

 

[Ryupower]

it WAS NOT WII but WII U System

$2 mil worth of them

I love how the Wii/Wii U differentiation is a mess in the article.

 

[The Riolu]

Meh. If they actually stole Wii U systems instead of regular Wii consoles, I don't really care. xD

Man thats gotta be worth thousands of dollars.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

So they stole Gamecubes I assume?

I hope they're prepared to deal with Nintendo's "No Backsies" policy.

This confusion is why nintendo shouldnt have named the wii "wii u"

it sounds stupid, causes confusion like this, and causes most non-gamers(a large part of nintendo's consumers) not even know what it is

Now if they are clever and manage to sell the consoles without being caught, they are going to make a huge profit... But man, how in the world can this even happen? I mean it must have been planned somehow. Because I don't think one of the thieves was like "let's hook up some trucks and steal some WiiU consoles right now"

WHAT THE FUCK, thats stupid why steal things when theres better things to do in life.

 

[Valwin]

[McHaggis]

The easiest +7000 the Wii has ever had for its "Number of units shipped worldwide" figures.

 

[Foxi4]

cant blame them it is the next gen

Fixed.

The thieves were ready.

WHAT THE FUCK, thats stupid why steal things when theres better things to do in life.

Because it earns you lots of money if you do it properly.
