Forums - Sales Discussion - Wii U sold 40K units during UK launch (CONFIRMED)

Is this bad? I mean thats UK only right? So I would think that 37K for UK by itself not including Europe is quite good.

If so then good for me. Might be able to pick one up before Xmas after all.

How can I transfer my save files from the Wii to the U without an SD card?

in europe it is very pricey. I was in HMV yesterday and the ZombiU bundle was €499



the Zombi bundle is 400 at most Mav



I take back what I said, just looked at the charts and this launched weaker than the Vita.

I don't understand the basic bundle at all, its incredibly unattractive next to the premium one. 

Did anyone on vgchartz buy the basic Wii U? Will anyone do it? I won't even consider it, for only 50$ more, the premium is a steal.

It's simple: If you say 'the premium is a steal' you are not the target for the basic bundle. It's aimed at those who think WiiU is too expensive. 



i dont see how this is a surprise...

This Console might be a success but in eyes of any gamers its Wii all over again, once 720 and Ps4 roll around it will be like this gen all over again.

360 and ps3 do better graphics, just buy 360 or Ps3 are move on, its cheaper.



For comparison
360 - 70K (December 2005)
PS3 - 165K (March 2007)
Wii - 105K (December 2006)



I don't see the Wii U doing so hot in Europe, considering even the Wii did only decent numbers there compared to the US.



Nintendo will have to reconsider Wii U prices. It's possible to find better deals for PS360 in the Uk on these days.

Also none of the launch titles were strong enough to sell Wii U. I'm very curious to see how it will perform in Japan.
