February 2015 NPD: Wii U sales just under 100,000 units
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 14 Comments
Nintendo said in its NPD response earlier this week that thus far in 2015, Wii U hardware sales are up by more than 20 percent over sales in the same period last year. But how many units were actually moved in the U.S. last month? It’s currently estimated that sales fell somewhere between 94,000 and 96,000 units or so.
That’s a bit better than January, in which Wii U sales came in at around 64,000 units. It’s also slightly higher than last February’s figure of 82,500 units.
