On average Nintendo are shifting 100k Wii U a month. Not fantastic, however it is nearly double the Wii U's sales in the previous 3 months. The Wii U is still, however, bleeding money. So far this financial year, Nintendo have shifted 460,00 Wii Us which brings the grand total of sales to 3.9 million. It is important to note though, Q2 ended BEFORE the release of WWHD, which saw sales increase by nearly 700% and also before the introduction of the Wii U price cut.
Q3 should be strong for Nintendo as it will include the WWHD sales as well as games such as Sonic: Lost World and Super Mario 3D World.
Software wise, Nintendo shifted 5.27million. A 500% increase on the previous quarter!

NEG-A-TIVE.
I doubt it will ever reach the heights the Wii did, but equally I really can't see the Wii U going down in history as a failure.
I for one am looking forward to some mindless shooting people with Call of Duty next week, and Super Mario 3D World and Mario Kart 8 all look brilliant.
Sorry, but that's a ridiculous statement.
There may be a lot of repetition of certain genres of games as they attempt to appeal to the mass market (NEWSFLASH: That's how you sell consoles) but there's plenty of innovation in there too.
I'm a big fan of Nintendo and actually like this fact, I think it's a bit of a silly reason to criticise a console at all. Why can't I enjoy a similar experience over and over with a nice cool addition.
Long live evolution!
I'm excited for DK: Tropical Freeze next month! ahh
I'm literally counting the days til Feb21st!!! ... Bring on the Kong!!!! /excited
