Forums - Nintendo Discussion - WiiU has surpassed the Dreamcast is the United States.

To say that the WiiU isn't an arousing success goes without saying, so much in fact that its frequently compared to SEGA's swansong system, the Dreamcast.

Well those comparisons are over as the WiiU has finally surpassed Dreamcasts LTD in the US.

As of June NPD total sales of the WiiU hardwae in the United States are around 4.07m compared to the 4.01m the Dreamcast did throughout its entire lifespan, the gap will grow bigger in WiiU's favor as, well, that one is still selling.

It took the WiiU 32 months to get to that number, while it took the Dreamcast's 34 months.

On the software side WiiU is also fairing much better, as the Dreamcast had only one million seller while the WiiU around 5, with its best selling title, Mario Kart 8, having sold twice as much as the Dreamcast's best seller, Sonic Adventure.

WiiU had already surpassed the Dreamcast worldwide sales as its sold 9.54m as of March 31st 2015 while the Dreamcast had sold less than 9.20m during its entire lifetime.

The system is not doing so hot compared to its actual competitors however, as the PlayStation 4 has already more than doubled its LTD and the Xbox One is not too far behind from doing it too.

 

Its the little victories that matter.

Interesting because in 10 years, the Wii-U will be as sought after and worshiped as the Dreamcast.



It's something.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Tag for funny post for later.



Thats awesome!!! Congrats on my favorite console so far!

Can you pass me sources of these? I knew Dreamcast sold 9.13 million units, but not about the first statement. 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first. 

Good Job Wii U!
