UK Xbox One sales just shy of Wii U's lifetime total, report claims

4.6
Xbox One sales were fast approaching Wii U's lifetime total after just two days of availability in the UK, a new report claims.

Retail monitor Chart-Track said on Monday morning that Xbox One sales were twice as big as those recorded for Xbox 360's launch week.

And an unnamed source has now told trade publication MCV that 150,000 Xbox One units were sold in the UK in the console's first 48 hours of availability, which is "just a few thousand units short of beating the Wii U's total UK sales accrued since its release a year ago this week"

Wii U sales totalled about 40,000 units during the system's first 48 hours of availability in UK.

At the end of Nintendo's second fiscal quarter ended September 30, global Wii U hardware sales stood at 3.91 million units.

Worldwide Xbox One sales topped one million units in less than 24 hours, Microsoft claimed on Saturday.

PS4 launched in North America on November 15 ahead of the European and Latin American PS4 release date of November 29. PS4 sales hit one million units in the console's first 24 hours of availability, according to Sony.

ext Well the Wii was a bit popular when it first came out, but the popularity of the console has dropped an excruciatingly over the years. The Wii is barely a console anymore, and they are not making their money back as fast as they wanted to.


Even the WiiU hardly took off. Nintendo are getting left behind in terms of consoles nowadays


The Nintendo 64 was the last good console by Nintendo, the first Wii was terrible, and the Wii U is even worst I read reviews on it, and they are just terrible.

VictorZazuetaM It makes me sad to hear this :( This will be nintendo's last console imo.


Not even close.
Nintendo has enough money to do research and possibly come up with the next best thing.

HOF Well the WII U was a flop but microsoft had more hype put into the xbox one. The new nintendo consoles just pop out of no where kind of like a McDonalds.


There was more hype because it was overall better.
