UK software sales for Wii U last month were rather abysmal. Just 34,000 games were sold in the territory throughout January. The figure is even more bewildering when you consider that all copies of Nintendo Land – yes, the ones bundled in with the Premium Pack – count towards the total. Wii U maintained a market share of just 1.6% in the UK.

A full listing of UK software totals and market shares for other platforms can be found in the graphic above.

I don't see Nintendo reacting to anything, which is making things even more worrisome.

The install base for the Vita should be a bit higher with a 10 month or so head start. Both numbers are terrible.
