Sadly, nobody is buying the Wii U console and this has impacted on Nintendo’s profits.
Recent financial figures showed that from the six months ending on September 30th, global sales of the Wii U were only at 460,000 units. Overall worldwide sales of the Wii U only stand at 3.91 million while software sales are 19.71 million units.
The Nintendo 3DS fared better selling 3.89 million over the six months. Global sales of the 3DS are now at 27.38 million units.
Hopefully Nintendo can find a way to make the Wii U more popular. It’s going to be a challenge with the PS4 and Xbox One on the way though…
