NPD says Wii U launch sales compare favorably to Wii launch
This is part of our NPD post, but I wanted to make sure it got its own spot...
"The much anticipated launch of the new Wii U console brought in more dollars than the Wii launch in November 2006, up 21 percent from that launch month. With an average price 35 percent higher for the Wii U at launch compared to the Wii, this is an example of how consumers are willing to come out and spend when they see the value of the product. Comparing Wii sales from November 2011 to Wii sales combined with Wii U sales in November 2012, dollar sales increased by 76 percent.” - NPD industry analyst Liam Callahan
Whether Nintendo gives us more specific figures on software sales and hardware moved thus far remains to be seen.
