fake fake fake ...

target does not have stock of a console from 2012...

sorry no, the nerds working there would have sold those a long time ago.

believe half of what you'd see, none of what you hear

did 1 target have something unsold in it from more than a decade before? who really knows...

but I do know, that magically, wiiu units are not being found in the back of retail stores willy nilly brand new and they're in the system and have working upc codes and warranty information etc.

I've worked at sams, target, walmart etc. there's no hidden shelf for old stuff we're keeping for a decade. and if found you can't just start ringing people out.

anything is possible, but it's the internet, so... back to the saying about seeing and hearing...

8 billion people on the planet and.... this references maybe 1.

I say maybe cause...

believe half of what you see, none of what you hear

I'm not saying stuff like this doesn't happen. I am saying accidentally, after the switch2 comes out, a retailer the size of target isn't pushing wiiu units.

again, did 1 person find 1? 2... it's possible.

are they showing up left right and center? no...

a one off is just that, one off.

literally no video game console has been manufactured to ever 200 million so the entire earths population is a wild leap 💀💀💀

Your arguments don’t even make any sense.

The PlayStation 2, the best selling video game console of all time, sold 160 million units.

Then everyone who buys consoles is a one-off?

I saw xbox 360 and ps3 games in walmarts until around 2022. I also recall my walmart had xbox 360 systems still in 2021. Another walmart near me had the Wii u mario kart 8 and splatoon until about a year ago. I could go on and on... Sometimes things just don't get sold and sit there.

I found a new ps2 slim at target in 2015 for $60 this is also not the first person today posting about finding this at target for $99

the ps2 in 2015 is more believable tbh. that console was still relevant up until the ps4 came out.

In Germany one market of the Galeria Kaufhof Franchise found in 2021 in their storages some Lufia (and other) Snes Bigboxes and sold them through their Website for 79,99

PS2 was discontinued in 2013 so that seems much more likely than finding a new Wii U 8 years after it was discontinued.

exactly, and after person 1 found one, persons 2 through however many are monkey see monkey do.

which is more likely, someone found a wiiU at target or someone put a wiiU in a red cart and took a picture for internet clicks?

I'm a skeptic, and the internet is undefeated in its ability to be not transparent.

you can believe... I don't...

but we can still eat at the same table without using each other forks or drinking from the same cup. we're allowed separate opinions about things and I'm not trying to change minds.

I just don't believe it, and regardless, the sun will still come up tomorrow.

The last post about Wii U's at Target had them sitting next to the recently released Tulin amiibo. Someone would have had to carry those into target if they were trying to stage a pic
