Nintendo released some sales numbers today for the Wii U console and the numbers are very positive.
Lifted by the sales of Super Mario Maker, sales for the Wii U in September are up 110% over sales in August. Super Mario Maker has sold nearly 445,000 combined units in its first week of release on September 11th.
Elsewhere sales for the Nintendo 3DS have increased nearly 25% in the first nine months of 2015 over the same period in 2014. Nintendo’s newest 3DS title Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer launched on September 25th and sold nearly 115,000 total units in its first week on the market.
Nintendo still has a fairly hefty slate of titles between now and the holidays with The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, YO-KAI WATCH, and Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon coming for the 3DS. Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, Xenoblade Chronicles X, and Devil’s Third are also all on the way for the Wii U.
