Pretty silly to compare the two since it's all about supply but since you asked...

Wii did around 1.6 million in 18 days. Wii U did around 1.3 million in 18 days.

Thanks for digging up those 'silly' numbers. I was wondering, sounds like they all had good launches.  It's the legs that will determine what happens with a system.

So do you happen to know when the Wii really started to take off?  I guess they had to ramp up production.


Well the closest thing to that would be 2008. That coincided with Mario Kart and Smash though so I don't know. The Wii consistently did 200k a month during the non holiday portions of every other year.

EDT: 200k a week. Slight difference. Ooops
