Nintendo sold 118,000 Wii U units in France last year

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments

According to a report from LSA, the Wii U sold 118,000 units in France last year. How does that stack up to the Wii? In 2006, the old system moved 180,000 units over the same period. Both systems launched very late in their respective release years, so the data accounts for about a month of sales.

Unsurprisingly, most of the Wii U’s sales came from the Premium Pack – 75% of consumers picked up the bundle. Another 15% purchased the ZombiU Premium Pack, followed by the Basic Pack at 10%.

Other 2012 sales figures from LSA worth mentioning:

3DS – roughly 950,000 units
PS3 – 700,000 units
Wii – 372,000 units
360 – 360,000 units

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments

We received some good news and some bad news concerning Monster Hunter 3 today.

The good news: Capcom finally nailed down a release date for Ultimate and confirmed voice chat (plus reconfirmed USB keyboard support) for the Wii U version.

Here’s the bad news: Monster Hunter Tri’s servers will be switched off on April 30. That date is set six weeks after the launch of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on Wii U and 3DS. You’ll be able to game local multiplayer if you purchase the 3DS title, but online is restricted to the Wii U version.
