Amazon UK: Wii U Sales Rank Jumps 875% Following Microsoft’s Xbox One

4.7
The Xbox One’s disappointing reveal has shot up sales of the Wii U on Amazon.com. The system was at #390 before the conference, but now has shot up to #40 due to Microsoft’s glorified TV box.

This momentum should carry Nintendo right into the summer as they have big plans for the Wii U at E3 and this fall. The console race has just begun but it’s good to see gamers are picking up a system that’s dedicated to gaming first, and multimedia second.

Honestly that's surprising. I would think most people who didn't like the Xbox One were either going to PS4 or PC gaming.

I understand that the Xbox One looks bad, but why buy a Wii U? It's even worse in my opinion!

-Tenth- This is interesting, but I assume even though people are disappointed with Microsoft
the Xbox One will do way better then the Wii U!

This is only Amazon UK, the US Amazon, didn't see anywhere near this big of a spike in sales and the UK has been the biggest market for the Wii U so far.

J-E-T-S Wii sucks


Wii sold 30 million more consoles than PS3 and 360 so they "suck" alot more and btw the new console is called a "Wii U"


2GB of RAM, and 1GB of RAM is allocated to system functions, 1.23 GHZ processor. nuf said


It's the games that matter,the quality of the games,doesn't matter if it's 1 gig,2 gig,50gig,multi 25 core cpu's,it doesn't matter.Kids today who grew up with Playstation and XBOX don't even know anything about quality gameplay,they seem to think all that matters is graphics.... well your wrong.

I'm more than certain the WII had sold quite a substantial amount of consoles, therefore making your point invalid.

Vampiric So people have made their final judgements on a console that we've seen sh*t all of?
Game play will be shown at E3, the reveal mainly showed its OTHER functions.
Although I don;t agree with how much it focuses on TV and video streaming, it's no reason to rule it out and go and buy something that everybody already knows is total sh*t.


To be honest most of the people on here who say the Wii U is rubbish don't know anything about it... eg,think it's a new hand held console,think it has the same graphics as the original Wii,when in reality it has better graphics than PS3 and 360.The XBOX ONE is geared towards America because that's the only place where 360 is popular.They should be concentrating on selling it Worldwide tbh as it's sold the least amount out of Wii and PS3.Sony tried the multi media approach when PS3 launched and it sold really poorly for years until eventually it overtook 360.Microsoft need to realise there's a lot more to selling a console than just another COD and American "Football" that isn't even Football.Everyone over the age of 10 is bored to death with COD and Halo is even worse,you just can't compete with a PC for FPS.Just because XBOX one has better graphics means nothing without good quality games to back it up.400 to play the same COD with worse gameplay and better graphics plus another 60 or so for the game and them more and more and more for countless crappy map packs that we should of gotten on the disc... no thanks.
