Unconfirmed reports suggest that the Wii U sold 307,471 units in its first week on sale in Japan.
That’s 70,000 fewer units than the Wii sold in its debut week. It’s also nearly 15,000 fewer than PlayStation Vita sold in its first week.
The number comes from French games site GameKult (http://www.gamekult.com/actu/japon-les-premiers-chiffres-wii-u-A106415.html).
The best selling game was Wii port Monster Hunter Ultimate 3, racking up 106,454 unit sales. The un-bundled Nintendo land sold just 66,583 units.
In other regions the Wii U sold 425,000 (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/wii-u-sells-425-000-at-launch-in-us/0107776) in its first week in the US and 40,000 (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/wii-u-sells-40k-units-in-the-uk-in-its-opening-weekend/0107419) in its first two days in the UK.
