Nintendo: some sales data for France and Germany

Germany

According to Börse Online (who quotes data by GfK), the Wii U has sold 690 000 units since launch in Germany (a 17% marketshare). This is most definitely a pretty poor result, but quite surprisingly, it’s not “enough” to make the Wii U the worst selling console in the country. Indeed, the Xbox One still hasn’t caught up with it, despite strong support from third-party publishers.

France

In France, the Wii U has sold better than in Germany, but not by much. With 742 000 units sold since launch, the Wii U is still ahead of the Xbox One, but it’s only a matter of months/weeks until Microsoft’s console overtakes it. As for the Nintendo 3DS, its sales are still really strong, despite its celebrating its 5th anniversary in March. Nintendo’s handheld has sold over 4 million units since launch.

As for the Wii U, it sold over 230 000 units in 2015, which is less than Microsoft and its Xbox One.

Mario Kart 7 also enjoyed strong sales: it’s #8, just before Tomodachi Life (which took Europe by storm last year).
