Nintendo has announced during its earnings that the Nintendo Switch has now outsold the Wii U lifetime sales in the short space of ten months. The Nintendo Switch’s first 10 months on sale, ending December 31st 2017, saw the company shift 14.86 million units. The Wii U sold 13.56 million units during its lifetime. Kotaku reports that Nintendo’s latest platform is currently on pace to cross 15 million units year one. This puts it on par with year one worldwide sales for the PlayStation 4.

Inevitable, right Your Grace?
Sad, I loved my Wii U. But very happy for Nintendo!
Same, oh well
Damn, what a shame. Wii U had great games too: Smash 4, MK8, Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2, Xenoblade Chronicles X, etc…..Then again half of those games are ported or going to be ported to the Switch……
Very true. I feel like the Wii U is a dreamcast in similar ways. It had great games, new innovative ideas. But just never caught on. I’m glad Nintendo is headed strong though
Just 10M more and iT Will have outsold GameCube and Xbox
I was thinking the same thing. GCN is another milestone as that’s kind of the marker for failure with Nintendo. N64 was a lukewarm success, only viewed as a failure because of expectation and having been crushed by the PSX.
Nintendo uses Nintendo Switch
It’s super effective!
Let’s celebrate!

There’s probably STILL people out there who doesn’t know what the Wii U was. LOL! Idiots.
What is a Wii U? It’s that iPad controller for the Wii?
The Wii U is now truly Nintendo’s biggest failure. We can all go home now.
Ahem (Virtual Boy) cough cough… 😅
Virtual Boy.
This is great for Nintendo, it’s fans and gaming in general. It’s also nice to go to my fave Nintendo sites (MNN best of course) and see that every day there is something new and those amazing indie games filling in the gaps nicely so far. It was tough during the Wii Us last year as some sites had no new story’s to cover, I thought they had shut down sometimes . For Nintendo and everyone one involved with Nintendo, this is definatly time to celebrate !
}{ Congratulations… You have surpassed the biggest failure since the virtual boy… This is but a few drops in the ocean compared to what we have accomplished… }{
Wow! That’s pretty huge!
the only reaso i still have my wii u is for smash brothers. once or if it ever releases as a port or a new title completely., im going to sell it. I never power it on anymore except to play smash bros.
