Every console launch since PS2 has been focused on the people lining up outside the stores to get the initial supply. For publicity reasons, it made sense to send more consoles to stores than Amazon or whatever.
Since it launches tomorrow , in a normal year that'd mean midnight tonight. You'd have to camp 12-18 hours earlier to 100% guarantee it, and besides Jeff apparently finding a Wii U the day of, unceremoniously in the Target game section equivalent of the beaded curtain room in a VHS store, they sell quick.
So far Walmart has revealed how their handling it, simply by allowing more online preorders that unlike last month are tied to actual stock at whatever actual WM store you're near. And not at midnight, but throughout the day tomorrow.
How are other stores handling it? Anyplace actually doing shopping in person at a brick and mortar? Anyplace selling online at midnight tonight? Any reason to line up or load browser tabs tonight to snatch one?
