Amazon Cancels Preorders for WiiU

by Shane O'Hare

Yesterday online retailer Amazon had the Nintendo WiiU for sale as a preorder for 199 GBP (roughly $300). Today it has taken down the listing and canceled all orders.

An email sent out to customers was posted on the NeoGaf forums.

We’re writing to you regarding your order for the Nintendo Wii U console. Your order has been cancelled as this product was listed on Amazon.co.uk in error. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

“You will not be charged for your order.

“If you’re interested in ordering the Nintendo Wii U console when it becomes available, you can sign up to receive an email here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004Y59P3A

“We hope to see you again soon.

“Warmest regards,

“Customer Service Department.”

Now this begs the question, what kind of error was this? Was it the “Shit, we put it up for too cheap” error or was it “Shit, we put it up for sale way to soon”. Let the Amazon deal speculation being.
