The Xbox One’s disappointing reveal has shot up sales of the Wii U on Amazon.com. The system was at #390 before the conference, but now has shot up to #40 due to Microsoft’s glorified TV box.

This momentum should carry Nintendo right into the summer as they have big plans for the Wii U at E3 and this fall. The console race has just begun but it’s good to see gamers are picking up a system that’s dedicated to gaming first, and multimedia second.

Check out the massive leap here

Nice work MS. lol jk.
I wonder if this is going to be a continued sales level, or if this is a minor leap for WiiU?

Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.
