Germany:Demand for PS4 is x6 higher than for the 2nd most popular console the WiiU! Also and Finally, WiiU HW #s LTD+MK8...

 

 

Yes it sounds crazy but according to current reports the second most popular current-gen console in Germany is the WiiU. Nintendo sold around 350,000 units while SONY managed to sell 540.000 PS4s. Microsoft has only sold 170.000 Xbox Ones.

The german price comparison portal billiger.de says that the demand for the PS4 is six times higher than for the WiiU. They even say that the demand for the Xbox 360 is higher than for the One.

One reason for the WiiU sales is Mario Kart 8, says Bernd Fakesch, head of the German branch. The game sold 150.000 times here in Germany and the software sales for the Wii U have increased overall by about 141% compared to last year.
