How are people selling it if it's a month 'til the release?
Selling preorders
They probably pre-ordered it and say in the listing that the customer is garaunteed it on launch day or something.
Canada isn't getting sold out yet. My local EBGames is waiting for more than two people to pre-order the damn things.

When the PS3 first came out is was €799 here, it still sold okay.
Do people really want this that bad? I find that a little depressing.

Someone who wants it as soon as it comes out. $750 actually isn't as bad as it could be (and will become).
Watch the WiiU be a piece of shit like it's predecessor.

Piece of shit or not, it still sold 30 million more units than either the PS3 or Xbox 360. Make of that what you will.
Also, Super Mario Galaxy was the shit.

The Wii was nice, it just didnt have enough first party devs making good games for it.
Wow, that is ridiculous. It never ceases to amaze me how much money some people have to blow.
In my own case, I'm going to attempt the same thing I did when the original Wii came out: stroll up to my local, small-town Kmart on launch day and pick one up without a pre-order. Might arrive a bit earlier this time, though; there were a few people in line last time and I was almost too late.
That old Wii drought still baffles me. I just can't believe it was so popular and supply was so short. It'll be really interesting to see it happen again (if it does happen again; I hope it doesn't).
I won't be able to buy it until a price drop :(

IIRC The wii was just a minorly upgraded gamecube, but Nintendo soon learnt that was stupid and yeah well it fell behind a little but you have to admit the wii is great for party games and I don't mind it.
The only thing I really want the wiiu for is zombiu

I also hope the wiiu will not be judged as a family console
Already have it paid the black one in full, it's gonna be delivered to my house Day 1, I got 150 to spend on games (Pikmin 3 for sure) and I got a 750GB drive for space.
I'm ready.
I'm hoping to get one sometime next year. I just hope it doesn't have shortages like the Wii did.

The PS3 is [I]still[/I] up to $690 here and it's selling pretty good.

A) People who are desparate parents
B) People who are looking to mod really as soon as they can for traffic on it
C) People who aren't part of big news sites and want to do reviews on the games and hardware as soon as they can.

Unfortunately ignorant people are already saying the WiiU is for "casual" gaming.

Figured this would happen, I'll just wait until sometime next year. Disappointing, but I think I can live with my current wii backlog and trying to beat the kingdom hearts and resident evil series
I won't buy it until it imprints money.

Holy fuck, it only got to 600 here, and thats A FUCKING LOT!
