It's no secret that the Wii U is struggling. However, the extent of which the console is struggling might surprise you.
According to Nintendo, between April 1 and June 30 of this year, the Wii U sold 160,000 units. Those are global sales figures. Over three months. Ouch.
Simple math tells us that the Wii U is selling, on average, fifty-three thousand Wii U consoles each month since April. That's not very good!
Even the Wii outsold the Wii U, moving 210,000 units during the last three months. Software sales were better, with over a million games between sold worldwide.
For the time being, things for the Wii U, sadly, are not looking up. This past April, Nintendo reported that the Wii U only moved 390,000 consoles globally, which were well below expectations.
These numbers are well below that.

The fault?
It's because of Nintendo initial failure of concept, NOT execution and NOT because of the lack of games which are just the result of the initial decisions.
And then because of desillusionned people (can't used the f*word in VGchartz) who still blindly support them and try to rationalize and find reasons why the Wii U is not selling....
