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.

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.

Because real gamers don't give a crap about watching tv or swipping your hand to change screens, or how fast you can switch from this to that. All they care about is playing games. With the Xbox now turning into a glorified TV cable box it's obvious that improving the gamers game play experience other then improving the games eye candy is not on their agenda.


So why not buy a PS4? There are no "real gamers" on Wii U.


I bet there are some 'real' gamer on Wii u, you dont know they arn't for sure.

Microsoft make their decisions based on the trends we follow, we wanted the best tv, the best games, the apps, the fully connected always ready deal. So that's what they gave us.

Oh and for the final time, E3 is the time for games not a console reveal.

Also, they lowered the price for a Wii U that's why it sold a few more.
