I had a lot going on when the Wii U was announced and launching, I was going into my first year of college, but the few times I saw commercials for Wii U or the Wii U in the store, all I thought was that this was an accessory to the console rather than a new console itself. Sure I ignored the Wii towards the end of its life (and missed some great games as a result) but I was always into Nintendo since the GameCube and I was considered the "good" one at Smash within my friend group. I disagree with this, I was really into the Wii at the beginning and while the last few years of that gen I was spending on 360, I still was pretty into gaming and was reading Game Informer regularly.

On the software side of things, Wii U has managed to shift 96.52 million units, which is an attach rate of about 7.1 games per console. At the other end of the scale, the magnificent DS shifted 154.02 million units, putting it in a very close second place behind the beast PS2, which remains the best-selling console of all time. Even the GameCube, the next-worst selling console, managed 21.74 million units sold. That's a comparatively small change from September 2016's 13.4 million, and now that the Wii U has ceased production, it's unlikely that figure will ever move much again.Ĭompared to Nintendo's other hardware products, the Wii U has really under-performed. In doing so, it put the Wii U's lifetime hardware sales through to the end of December 2016 at 13.56 million. Nintendo has updated its lifetime hardware sales figures following its most recent financials briefing. The Wii U bows out gracefully, if not to applause.
