Possibly, but I don't see any logical reason for Wii U sales to have increased naturally in February. Literally zero retail games were released for the console the whole month. 360 and PS3 and the rest had actual releases.

well the fact that feb vconsole sales always increase compared to january, is reason enough, don't you think?

It could be. But I think it's all a connected cycle. Customers buy an excess of consoles in December, so they're less likely to be wanting one in January; fewer publishers release games in January because they know customers are less likely to be buying; but of course fewer customers are going to be buying games if fewer games are being released. Releases pick up in February because sales pick up; sales pick up because releases pick up. Wii U had no releases, so I don't know why anyone would suddenly decide in February that they want to buy a Wii U.

Let me put it this way, releases push sales. 20% is a normal increase for Feb over Jan -- with software releases. Wii U doubled that with no software releases. That's not fishy to you?

its not fishy at all cause cause it's the norm, and i don't understand what you measn by doubled, it sold 57k in jan, it sold 65k, in feb, consoles always sell better in feb, with software or not.



It sold 65-80 k though. Not a single game was even released how is that normal?
