Nintendo has announced that Wii U sales in North America rose 340 per cent in November compared to the previous month, with the Wii U title Super Mario 3D World also selling over 215,000 digital and physical copies since the game’s North American launch on 22 November.
The company also revealed that lifetime 3DS sales in North America passed 10 million units last month, with 770,000 units of the handheld console sold in November. Lifetime North American sales of Pokémon X & Y for Nintendo 3DS/2DS also passed 2.35 million units, with over 225,000 combined physical and digital copies sold in the territory during November, and Zelda: A Link Between Worlds sold 280,000 copies since last month’s North American launch.
“In looking at these results, two things are indisputable,” said Nintendo of America’s Scott Moffitt. “Our hardware is gaining momentum at the exact right time and our software catalogue is stronger than ever.”
