Ebay sold 4 Wii U's per second @ $260 to a maximum of 4,000 units according to this article. That's 4 times faster than the iPad air 2 which was heavily discounted. Wii U looks to be more popular than last year from what I'm seeing on the street too any from conversations with friends. 

Edit: But do ebay sales even count? They were sold through a vendor. Also note the secondhand value increase on eBay.

Sounds great! I got my fingers crossed for Wii U this holiday..

OT: What game on your avatar? Is it CIV?

Holy fuck is that impressive. Are they new or secondhand?

0.0 That's crazy.

Awesome! Great to hear they are selling a lot

It's a map of Ireland in civ 3. A game that never made it to consoles but is one of my all time faves :)

Not sure but outselling air 2 by 4:1 is impressive. I was trying to find more info, but because it's a Nintendo success story, no more info appears online. I was encouraged over spanksgiving when ever visitor was interested in the U gamepad. Maybe it is now in style? Who knows, but last year people thought it looked weird. 

Wii u is on fire especially on ebay!Hurrayyyyyyyy!I have seen that wii u sells a lot on ebay!(There are great deals there)!

Thats great news. Healthy gen
