Wii U Surpasses 2 Million Sales

By Tiko377 - 01-02-2013, 08:22 PM - Boxden > BX GameSpot

According to VGChartz, the Wii U has finally passed the 2 million sales mark, all within just around a month. Nintendo hopes to sell around 5.5 million units by April 2013. I am not sure if they will be making that mark, but hopefully they will come close to it.

North America is in the lead currently, this is to be expected since the Wii U released there first. Following North America is Japan, Europe, and finally Rest of World:

North America – 1.09 Million Units
Japan – 560K Units
Europe – 410K Units
Rest of World – 150K Units

These numbers are sure to be constantly changing, as more and more people buy the newest Nintendo console. Currently the Wii U has already sold 81% of the original Wii’s numbers for the same time frame, despite costing $100 more. This is an astonishing feat for Nintendo.

Cross your fingers in hopes that Nintendo reaches their sales numbers that they are wising for.

Until they get some games that I already can't get on the systems that I already have, I won't be buying.

Yet Wii U games have a lower average score than the rest of the industry's consoles. The only thing it's beating is Nintendo's other products.

See, now, you're comparing a library of games that's a couple months old to libraries that are 7 and 8 years old. I hope the 360's/PS3's game's have a higher average. They've had damn near 10 years of games after all.

So you are saying that the games are trash, even though they are ports of ps3,360 games? In other words, they aren't trash on the 360/ps3, but as soon as its on a Nintendo, then its trash?
