September's Mystery Buyer: Unveiling the New Wii U Owner

In a surprising turn of events, a brand-new Wii U was recently purchased, despite the console being discontinued for six years and Nintendo shutting down its online store. The sale was reported by Mat Piscatella, a video game industry analyst at Circana, indicating that it wasn't a purchase from a reseller or eBay. It is speculated that a smaller retailer, not primarily focused on gaming, still had the Wii U in stock due to inventory control issues. This occurrence is not unprecedented, as similar instances of rare purchases have been reported in the past.
