As per this week, according to VGC. With Destiny's launch, it's 29.9m vs. 28.8m.

Xbox One is at 19.3m.

Congrats to PS4, it's taken a bit longer than for HW, but it's there now.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Wow, WiiU software is doing a lot better than I expected.

The wiiU doesn't have any problem selling nintendo software



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Given the Wii U is often ignored or has the short stick on multi-plats, those really are interesting software numbers.

That's true but, still, when you look at the install base differences, that's a lot of software comparatively, especially when WiiU hasn't had front-loaded "comical disasters of financial success" like W_D and Destiny. ~3 Million more people with two titles accounting for ~5 million sales, in the recent present, compared to... MK8 at ~2.5 million.

Seems to indicate that everything is 'slowly' selling under the curtain for the WiiU, I wonder if this takes into account indie titles and downloads.

Well the wii u had a whole full year of software sells and those numbers probably included heavy bundled games like nintendoland

It's because tge Wii U has been out for more than twice as mong, and as such has gotten more games that help push SW sales.

But these are multiplats. Having the most multiplats sold over another console that is not getting multiplats is a very warped way to view this. How about we compare total exclusive software sold? I mean, wouldn't that make more sense?
