US WiiU sales relatively low but consumers are satisfied

I doubt much of this is due to Wii U to be honest. Not many have it and they asked only about Nintendo in general. More likely that Wii, DS and 3DS are what brought it up. After all, Wii had great word of mouth "on the street". If WiiU's word of mouth was as good it would be seeing higher sales.

I'd doubt it's Wii, not even DS. They were barely a blip in the market this year.

For reference here's 2012

Hmmm, that's interesting. So they go from 75 to 83. Interesting. How many did they ask? It's pretty strange that they would increase so much with only a million or so WiiU sales.

"Microsoft Xbox" - lol what.

Also, I just noticed that in your OP graph that they call Kinect "Connect" lulz.

Hehe, I'm glad you noticed. Yeah, I believe their sample population is 7500 people.

I wouldn't hold the Connect against them because when they do the survey, people will understand Kinect right?

@Jay I updated my post.

I would assume 3DS was low there because it had just come out and it should have boosted thet index but it didn't.
