2013 Wii U sales struggling

4.7
Nintendo's console sold just over 57,000 units in January, managing to increase that number to over 64,000 units in February. It has been a rough start of the year, with the console having one of the worst recorded sales of the new year compared to current-generation consoles (Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3). In comparison, the Xbox 360 was at top of the hardware charts with 302,000 units sold.

At the time of the launch the Wii U sold over 3 million units by the end of December, a decent launch that outpaced others in recent history, but sales have since fallen significantly as the console has suffered from a lack of new releases.

Overall hardware sales are down 36% compared to where they were last February in the U.S. due to many people waiting for the new generation consoles.

This isn't a surprise. The WiiU wasn't that successful from the start. Nintendo can't do anything to boost sales, unless they want to drop the price a lot which they most certainly won't do.

Thatch Why would anyone want a Wii U, Like others have said, I think the sales will continue to struggle


Yeah I doubt the Wii U will be a success in the future, but I do think that Nintendo will redeem them selfs with something new
