@Tasuki Typically you're right — their preorders go up almost immediately after something is announced. But at some point in the last year Amazon stopped carrying Nintendo hardware — you couldn't preorder the 3DS XL from them (and you still can't order it directly from Amazon, same with the original 3DS, Wii, and current DS models) and I think there's a good chance the same will be true of the Wii U. I hope I'm wrong, as I'd much rather just preorder it from them, but being that they haven't carried Nintendo hardware for a little while now, it's a good possibility.
@Tasuki Unlikely, as Amazon isn't carrying any Nintendo hardware right now. The Wii, 3DS, and 3DS XL are all only available through third party sellers.
I'll probably head out to GS on my lunch break to see if they're taking preorders.
