"Eurogamer tech expert Rich Leadbetter informs us that the update is 1GB, not 5GB as was originally reported."

"Wii U's first system software update weighs in at around 1GB"

And while Richard rounds the total to about 1 GB in the articles above, I can state that it's 882 MB specifically.

That's much better, thank you.  

No problem.

It just really makes you wonder how the 5 GB figure was first calculated and why it was taken as gospel by ever single media outlet (well, one of them didn't...*wink*)?
