GameStop is reporting a software tie-in ratio for Wii U that is much higher than its predecessor.

At the moment, GameStop has recorded 1.2 million pre-orders for Wii U games. The retailer was given 500,000 units of allocated console stock, which saw sell-outs very soon after consumers could begin forking over money for the system.

Based on the reported figures, GameStop is seeing a tie ratio of 2.4 games for every Wii U console. The statistic is double the amount Wii experienced as its launch was approaching back in 2006.

GameStop said pre-orders have been strong for New Super Mario Bros. U, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, ZombiU, Assassin’s Creed III, and Scribblenauts Unlimited.
