Actually, St. Nick came through… however, Nintendo’s Network is unable to follow suit (currently) due to high-volume slowing down / choking those owners of the Wii U from connecting with it. Looking at the bright side (of this snafu) it could mean that the company has actually sold more units than expected (which would be a positive given the firm’s recent challenges against the reigning Game Console makers).
