Wii U sales hit 6.68 million

Nintendo has announced that Wii U sales have reached approximately 6.68 million units.

510,000 Wii U consoles were sold during the last financial quarter, while software sales hit 4.39 million during that time.

Those software numbers can largely be attributed to Mario Kart 8, which shifted 2.82 million copies upon release.

Nintendo still recorded a loss of £54.7 million GBP during the last quarter, but it will be hoping big name games such as Super Smash Bros U will rectify this towards the end of the year.
