“Wii U ha tenido un comienzo tremendo en Estados Unidos, habiéndose agotado prácticamente en cada tienda y aumentando su estatus de producto imprescindible para estas navidades”.
Wii U vende 425.000 unidades, más que suficientes viendo que el hardware es potente, pero vendió unas miles de unidades menos que la anterior, hablamos de Wii Original – 430.000-440.000 unidades aproximadamente -.
Nota de prensa de Nintendo US
Strong sales on Black Friday and the arrival of Wii U helped Nintendo sell more than 1.75 million total hardware units in the United States in November, according to the NPD Group.
This includes nearly 910,000 units of portable hardware and more than 845,000 home console units. November 2012 marks the 36th time that Nintendo has sold more than 1 million hardware units in one month in the United States since 2004.
“The groundbreaking Wii U, the continued strength of Nintendo 3DS and the enduring appeal of Wii and Nintendo DS drove momentum on Black Friday and through November,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing.
“Wii U is off to a tremendous start in the United States, is essentially sold out at retail and has cemented its status as the ‘must-have’ product this holiday season.”
