Nintendo did not distribute a response to the April 2015 NPD data yesterday, though the company did share a few figures with GamesBeat. The site was told that, though the first four months of the year, Wii U hardware sales are up 15 percent compared to the same period in 2014.

Unfortunately, that still doesn’t tell us much. But thanks to a chart shared by creamsugar – a person known for leaking NPD data – it’s looking like Wii U sold approximately 43,000 units in the U.S. last month.

Here’s a rough breakdown of the chart pictured above (note: Wii U takes up the position of 10.60 percent share):

Xbox One = 187,000 units
PS4 = 174,730 units
Wii U = 42,890 units

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition debuted in Japan on April 29. Media Create reports that the game sold 179,926 copies in its first week with a 45.77 percent sell-through rate.

Puzzle & Dragons Z was the previous entry in the series on 3DS. When it launched, the title sold 543,630 copies in its first week for a sell-through of 97.02 percent.

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition may not have sold as much as “Z”, but retailers have indicated that both games primarily appeal to young 3DS owners. That suggests Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition could sell more units to those who purchased Puzzle & Dragons Z.
