The retail chain claims it has 'secured extra stock' to sell on the night without customers needing to pre-order the system.
CVG understands (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/380231/hmv-secures-extra-stock-for-wii-u-midnight-launch/) that on launch day there will be less than 30,000 consoles on sale across the UK - though Nintendo has a plan to replenish stock frequently.
