January Wii U Sales In North America Reportedly "Well Under" 100,000

Posted on Friday, February 15 @ 06:16:54 Eastern by Alex_Osborn

Things aren't looking too up for the Big N and their brand-new tablet-centric gaming machine, as last month's sales in North America are extremely underwhelming.

According to Gamasutra, not only did the console fail to sell 100,000 units, apparently the numbers for January fall somewhere between 45,000 and 59,000 units. Now that is pretty poor. In fact, the outlet goes on to point out that if this truly is the case, the Wii U's sales last month in North America were actually lower than any month on record for both Sony and Microsoft's current-gen gaming boxes. 

Let's hope that Nintendo really blows us away this year at E3 with some amazing new software, because right now, things aren't looking too hot.

    With the Wii-U being more expensive than the Wii and not many known titles, people aren't so keen on blowing money right now. I'm sure it will change once Nintendo's big titles come out.

    Yesterday I got all excited and decided it was finally time to buy a Wii U. Before I ran to the store though I looked online to see what titles I might want to get. About 5 minutes later I decided it was still way too early sadly. Since I have had PS3 and Xbox for years now, i'm really only interested in Nintendo exlusive titles and those that interesed me numbered around 2 or 3 currently. Alot of good games comming out just needs more time. I can't wait for Wind Waker HD.

    And if anyone knows offhand, if I get the 8gig version, does that 5gig patch that they had on day 1 eat up over half of that memory? It makes sense, but would be depressing.

    Just buy an external HD, but make sure the HD has its own separate power supply and you will be fine. But unless you have money to blow, I would recommend waiting at this point until after E3.
