UK retailer John Lewis sells Wii U cheap as chips

UPDATE: It's "out of stock"! That was quick.

UPDATE 8.50AM BST: It's sold out! That was quick!

ORIGINAL STORY 8.40AM BST: Pretty-posh UK retailer John Lewis is selling the Wii U at an absolutely ravishing price: £112!

That's an 8GB Wii U with New Super Mario Bros. U, Mario Mascot and an 8GB SD card. It's marked by John Lewis as "reduced to clear", discounted from £234.95 to £159.95 to £149.95. Evidently the £10 drop didn't lure people in.

It suggests the retailer may be ducking out of stocking Wii U altogether, which is sad. But with the brilliant Mario Kart 8 just around the corner, the price certainly isn't.

Never forget.
