Report: Wii U Outsold Xbox One Last Week

4.6
The alleged sales numbers for the week of December 21 have been revealed by VGChartz, and, according to the data, the Wii U outsold Microsoft’s Xbox One console globally last week.

As you can see in the chart below, the Wii U sold 319,860 units world-wide last week while the Xbox One sold only 307,366. Of course, neither systems come close to the numbers of the 3DS which sold 1,078,568 units last week to remain the top selling console in the World.

The news of the Wii U outselling the Xbox One is surprising due to the fact that Microsoft’s console is the newer of the two which has more “hype” at this time of the year. The fact that the Wii U sales are on the upswing can only be good news for a console, and a company, with high hopes for 2014.

Twilightlicious I'm still wondering how this actually happened


The Wii U is sold in more countries.


Still doesn't take into account that the Xbox One is the newer console and should be selling more.

Sales charts are proof! Don't make excuses it just didn't sell very well.

-Mark It looks like the Xbox One not being available in certain markets really hurt its sales. I'm sure it'll catch up as time goes on though.


I agree, when more xbox Only titles launch and cloud is actually utilized it will be a new game.

TheUnholy1994 Wouldn't even say the Nintendo stuff is next gen. They really are a let down now. They used to be good, but not anymore.


I agree that specification wise Nintendo is kind of lacking this generation but i have to say that the games being released for consoles such as the 3DS are keeping up pretty well

Veszperr Woohoo! Finally, sales are starting to pick up for the Wii U. It's really sad to see the MS fanboys getting all mad that their beloved Xbone is getting outsold by the Wii U, lol (and don't give me that "it's not in Japan BS", since MS game consoles sell like **** in Japan). Can't we just "congratulate Nintendo on their success" and get over it? D:


But dude, It's not in Japan....

Fliqa If anyone hasn't noticed the Xbox one was only realised in a few countries looking at the chart you can see that Japan had no sales for the Xbox one and the Wii U did they outsold simply based off the fact they sold the Wii U in more countries then the Xbox one.


Microsoft isn't favoured in JP, so that wouldn't have made a difference


They really aren't favored much at all these days. Apparently the Xbox 360 sold less then 1.65 million units in Japan throughout its lifetime
