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.

The 3DS is just up there, pretty surprising it's the top one for that week.

I think Wii U is forgetting that there is a big price difference between them and the Xbox One.

-Mark If you look at that chart it's obvious that what's hurting the Xbox One sales is it not being available in certain markets.


Not being available in certain markets would certainly be a disadvantage sales wise but you need to keep into account that in eastern countries such as Japan Microsoft isn't really popular what so ever. Apparently the Xbox 360 has sold less then 1.65 million units in Japan so far


If I recall correctly I believe the PS4 isn't even available in Japan yet and wont be for a while

GibbityTree The 3DS is selling quite well. It's lame to me though, and that's just LOLZ all around. Shoutouts to Nintendo having a handheld take a crap on the X-bone.


hahaha yeah i never thought that would be on top of the list.

Damn Congrats Wii U but lots of people didn't get an Xbox one yet.
