Wii U Sales Hit New Record After Christmas

Wii U Sales Hit New Record After Christmas

Nintendo keeps breaking its records month after month. Recently they claimed that they sold more Wii U’s than they ever had this holiday season, specifically in November. A lot of this success is attributed to the release of the killer app Super Smash Bros. as well as several other much anticipated titles such as Mario Kart 8 .

Hardware sales rose by 29 percent when compared to the same period last year, and software sales rose by 75 percent. This doesn’t quite but the Wii U in the running for winning the console wars, but certainly does show that it is back on the market, at the very least as the “second console” everyone gets.

“Wii U had its strongest year yet thanks to the highly anticipated software line-up and the introduction of the amiibo platform,” said Nintendo of America marketing executive Scott Moffitt.
