Despite a report claiming that GameStop is discontinuing the Wii U 8GB Basic model, Nintendo UK says that the console will still continue to go on sale in the United Kingdom. Yesterday Kotaku received information from a GameStop employee email that the leading North American video game retailer will be discontinuing the model from the 18th of June. It sounds fairly likely that this will happen worldwide, but Nintendo just isn’t ready to announce this yet. We should hear more on June 11th at 3pm BST.

“We are unable to comment on rumour or speculation however we can confirm that Wii U Basic continues to be available in the UK.”
