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.

Mavericks How is the 3DS selling so good? Thats thing is a joke. It's made for children.


Is that a joke? If it was, good job.

But since you're so ignorant and can't understand what's going on in the world around you, here you go.

Pokemon X and Y came out.

Many adults and kids love Pokemon, so, they played it. Therefore, the 3ds will skyrocket in sales, do you get my explanation or are you still wondering. Please reply.

Dang it Japan, you people need to learn to move away from your country.
I feel so bad they have to deal with a Wii U instead of an Xbox One.

OasisPosted:

This is pointless because the Xbox One isn't even available yet in Japan, but your still counting it towards the Wii U total. When actually the real figures say different;

Xbox 1 307k
Wii U 188k

Wobba Wow, that is really surprising. I am actually kind of happy for nintendo.


There sales are really seeming to pick up. Nintendo is a good company and i have always thought that the Wii U deserves a little more recognition than it gets


agreed no matter what we have always owned nintendo games and it was my first system but i didnt expect it to outsell every other console.
