So, looking at Wii U sales growth, it's certainly interesting. The Wii U has gone from 63,625 units in the week of the 9th, to 111,046 units in the week of the 23rd.
For comparison, the Xbox 360 went from 113,129 units to 116,724 units, and the PS3 went from 191,791 units to 201,920 units. So while the 360 increased by about 3.2% in two weeks, and the PS3 increased by about 5.3% in two weeks, the Wii U increased its weekly sales by 74.5% in the same period (a 21% increase over the first week, and a 43.8% increase over the second week).
Much of this difference can be attributed to the US, where Wii U sales increased by 109% in the two weeks. In Europe the increase was almost identical to the global increase, at 74.9%, while Japan saw an increase of 27.5% over those two weeks.
Also interesting is that the European increase cannot be attributed to Super Mario 3D World, which hasn't released within the period covered by the data (whereas the larger US boost might be partly due to that game). This makes the next week of data particularly interesting, as we should see an extra boost in Europe.
