Wii U launch better than Wii in US
Figures show that Nintendo's Wii U had sold over 425,000 units in the first week and around 475,000 for the Wii during its first week on sale.
Liam Callahan of NPD said: “With an average price 35 percent higher for the Wii U at launch compared to the Wii, this is an example of how consumers are willing to come out and spend when they see the value of the product,"
Unfortunately for Nintendo, Microsoft have reported selling 1.26 million Xbox units in November. Completely over shadowing the Wii U launch in sales figures.
Liam Callahan noted that "half of the software dollars sold in November 2012 were for the Xbox 360"

I am not surprised that Microsoft sold more consoles than Nintendo but I AM surprised the Wii U sold that many as they look like a terrible console.

iLegacy Microsoft consoles are almost always going to sell more than Nintendo.
That's stupid and historically wrong. The Wii has sold more copies than the Xbox 360, and the Gamecube has sold more consoles than the Xbox. Not to mention that Nintendo has never fallen lower than second in the console generations.
