Wii U sales continue to have a "negative impact on Nintendo's profits," attributed to its markdown overseas and insufficient growth of software unit sales. The company has sold 6.17 million Wii U consoles since the system's launch in November 2012 and 2.72 million for the year, slightly down from its projection of 2.8 million, and 310,000 for the quarter.
Wii U titles Super Mario 3D World, New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U all sold more than a million units. The "Wii U business as a whole showed slow growth" and software reached only 18.86 million units, not far from the projected 19 million units.
Окончательное подтверждение того что Wii U не взлетела. С портативками пока всё хорошо, но что будет с рынком домашних консолей и хватит ли у нинтендо денег в будущем на выпуск новой стационарной консоли?
