The line was not long -- roughly a dozen people were there, with some hanging out inside the store. However, the metal barricades were up and individuals had been camping out for the past few days.
The Wii U comes at a time when interest in the Wii is waning as more consumers spend more time on mobile games found on tablets and smartphones, or gravitates towards more serious systems such as Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony‘s Playstation 3.
Nintendo is getting a jump on its two rivals with its next-generation console, as neither Microsoft nor Sony has shared much detail on their plans.
The Wii U adds a tablet controller to the console, allowing for more interaction between the controller and display, as well adding a more social element to some games. Nintendo has also stressed the Wii U’s capabilities as an entertainment device beyond video games, with the hope of turning the system into an entertainment hub. Microsoft and Sony have both sought to do the same with their consoles.
