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.

Microsoft consoles are insanely unpopular in Japan. I highly doubt it would of made much of a difference when it comes to sales

Perfect- I don't believe it. I just can't fathom how bad Microsoft is doing.


Xbox is not doing that bad if you take into account that they sell in a lot less countries then the other consoles do.

VANAGON The psps numbers are so low... sigh.


I think in large part this is due to the PS4 having a companionship with the PSVita so most people only bought one or the other (and swayed more towards the side that could play AAA titles remotely from their ps4)

Aggie Are you serious. The 3DS is the most selling device in the world?

Good job even reading the article. The article clearly states that these were the sales numbers for the week before Christmas.

One of my friends got it just to play Pokemon.


Yea I think a lot of people do this. I don't think you can emulate a 3DS, so it forces those hardcore Pokemon fans to buy it if they want to play the new games.
