Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two’s US sales have been clarified. Based on information provided by Disney and NPD, the game sold 529,000 units in November and December. We had previously heard that Disney moved just 270,000 copies, though that figure now appears to have been inaccurate.

Sales of Epic Mickey 2 along with Power of Illusion stand at 695,000 units up to the end of December. That should put the 3DS game at around 166,000 units sold in the US.

The Wii got off to a massive start (err– a four year long “start”) across the globe, but despite the sales lead it managed to procure it seems that sluggish sales of the console in 2011 and 2012 have allowed Microsoft’s competing Xbox to close the gap and prepare to surpass Nintendo in the coming months. According to Chart Track data, the Xbox 360 actually outsold the Wii 4 to 1 in 2012.

“The success of Microsoft and the Xbox 360 during the past two years highlights a radical changing of the guard in the game industry. Much has been made about a steady video game sales decline in the past three years. In reality the decline has mainly been due to the aging console systems and more importantly because of Nintendo’s collapse.” – DFC Intelligence, analysis firm

The real question now is whether the Wii U can perform even half as good as its predecessor.

90’s Arcade Racer was never a sure-thing for Wii U, but creator Pelikan13 had shown interest in the possibility. Today, Pelikan13 posted a new update on the official Kickstarter page that strongly hints at a version for Nintendo’s console.

The message reads:

“Since the project went live there have been some very exciting developments that I can’t talk about yet but the game could be heading for the TV. This is not a one person project anymore and I hope U Wiil stay tuned for more news.”

Take a look at that last sentence – specifically “U Wiil”. Get rid of the “l” and switch “U” and “Wii”. What do you have? Wii U!
