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.

Dissapointing my ass. Did you guys even pay attention to the loading times or graphics or new features. Gameing will be shown a t E3.

I really don't see how the reveal was that bad. They was just showing new features rather than gaming improvements, which will be showed at E3 no doubt. The graphical improvements they did show did look massive and I'm looking forward to see more of the Xbox One at E3.

Jeez %875 just because of a bad reveal? I'd love to see what would happen if the Xbox One was straight up shit.

Cougar Maybe some people were holding off for the Xbox and decided not to...


Most likely. I mean like the article said, I want something made for gaming first not after advertisements and videos

Syn_v7 I don't see why the xbox reveal would make people buy a Wii U.


Because the Xbox One reveal showed that it was nothing more than a glorified TV box that just so happens to play video games. People who enjoy video games want to play video games and considering that that's the Wii U's focus, everyone that isn't some edgy "I ONLY PLAY MATURE GAMES FOR MATURE GAMURRRS LIKE MYSELF" 14 year old jumped ship to it.

Besides, it isn't even that bad anymore. It's actually starting to build up a good game library.



Good Game Library? Oh you've got to be kidding me. Companies continue to get in the crowd of companies that call the Wii **** and won't develop for it.


It helped the Wii U cause people were debating if they should save up and get the Xbox One instead, but they were disappointed and probably decided to buy the Wii U

Rhyperior Good to see this. While Nintendo will never go broke in my opinion, the WiiU wasn't helping at all. Having played it, I find it to be a great console. While some people argue " Oh yeah? Well then why wont I ever play Battlefield on it? " Well, the WiiU is made for fun, entertainment first. FPS Explosive graphical action, like 99th. People don't buy the WiiU hoping to see amazing Graphics and power. They buy it for a great, fun, local multiplayer with your friends, and a great Nintendo lineup to go with. I fully support Nintendo's development, and would love to see chunsoft get a developers titles for it. Pokemon Mystery Dungeon "Title here" on the WiiU would be a great dungeon style adventure game. Best of luck Nintendo :D


no the reason why battlefield will never come out is because ea hate nintendo and also wii u is 4 every1 there is lots of gaory games
