Wii U has only sold 179,000 software units in the UK this year

Wii U’s sluggish start is far from a secret. The console’s disappointing start extends to the UK, where sales have been slow – to put it mildly.

A new report on Gamasutra paints an ever worse picture for the Wii U in Britain. According to the site, the system managed to sell just 179,000 piece of software at retail this year. Gamasutra notes, “Even if digital sales added 10 percent to the total software units sold on the Wii U, its year-to-date results would just barely match retail software sales for the moribund PlayStation Vita.”

It’s all on Nintendo to fix the situation. The company hopes that with the new releases coming to Wii U this year, things will begin to turn around.
