Wow. The Wii U is holding its own over there!

I wouldn't really say Wii U is holding it's own. It's behind the Xbox One, which people are (rightfully) saying is getting massacred in Europe (outside of the UK).

But there are several Wii U games in the top charts. Accumulating them all and saying, "Nope. Wii U is not" is very one-sided, don't you think?

It just tells us that WiiU has few games that sell well, but those that do sell quite well in France. It's the library overall that is lacking. But it's quite similar globally anyway. Mario Kart 8 represented like 65% of WiiU's software shipments in the April-June quarter despite launching late May.

But we're not talking about the rest of the world. We're talking about France. In France, the Wii U is holding its own.
