Every year people buy video game consoles at stores like Walmart and Target. That’s not really news. What is news and endlessly funny to me is that in 2023 someone bought a brand new, still-sealed Wii U from a retail store. It’s true! 

I like to think some random store employee found the Wii U boxed up in some backroom, brought it out, and placed it on a shelf. And when someone walked in and spotted it they probably did a double take and promptly bought Nintendo’s not-so-successful home console. It’s nice to know that an abandoned (probably lonely) Wii U finally has a home in 2023.
