Report: Wii U Outsold Xbox One Last Week

4.6
The alleged sales numbers for the week of December 21 have been revealed by VGChartz, and, according to the data, the Wii U outsold Microsoft’s Xbox One console globally last week.

As you can see in the chart below, the Wii U sold 319,860 units world-wide last week while the Xbox One sold only 307,366. Of course, neither systems come close to the numbers of the 3DS which sold 1,078,568 units last week to remain the top selling console in the World.

The news of the Wii U outselling the Xbox One is surprising due to the fact that Microsoft’s console is the newer of the two which has more “hype” at this time of the year. The fact that the Wii U sales are on the upswing can only be good news for a console, and a company, with high hopes for 2014.

Wouldn't have made a difference, Japan favours heavily in nintendo and sony products over microsoft products


If you look at how little Xbox 360 consoles have been sold in Japan many people would actually be surprised. Microsoft is mainly only popular in the west


Yeah, so popular in fact in the west we think of most people having either a 360 or both consoles. Turns out that's really only true for NA rather than most other parts of the world. (Majority of 360 sales come from US while EU holds some ground, just not nearly as much)

The figured don't lie man. The Wii U picking up in popularity once the Xbox One and PS4 where released was kind of expecting honestly.

Maybe it's something to do with the Wii U being available for a massive amount of time before Xbox One or PS4?

I'll think it as more to do with the xbone only being for sale in 7 European countries

I doubt it, the figures may not be 100% accurate, but accurate enough to show the Wii U sold more.

It seems like the UK nation prefers the PS4 over the X1. Who knew?
