Well anything that helps Nintendo in what I view as their weakest market is always good news.

I don't really know what to make of this. Is this supposed to be good? Or is this a its not as horribly bad as it was before but its still really bad.

Here is what I saw.
WiiU $9M and this is it being up by 500%+ and XB1 with $25M even while having an overall lower install base than the wiiU. And I am not even going to mention the PS4.

Ah well, its at least better than how it was doing so I guess that is good.

The Last of Us released last June.  That's the reason for the drop.

Same here, i don't think the wii u is making great numbers in UK ( compare to xbone and ps4 ) .. It is just better than before.

Indeed, i live in France and here i'm quite sure the wii u is outselling the xbone ( Micosoft has a very bad reputation here ).

Not surprising considering the fact that MK8 did pretty well in the UK for a Ninty game!

No offense but that seems like a pretty arbitrary metric ... "software sales go up from a month where we released no games to a month where we released our biggest game of the year" ... well ... yeah ... no sh*t, lol.

Not great, but better than before.
