Nintendo has announced strong sales results in September for both Wii U and 3DS.
The company issued a press release just ahead of NPD's September 2013 report (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/npd-grand-theft-auto-v-leads-industry-to-positive-month-in-september/0122807), revealing that Wii U sales were up 200 per cent month-over-month during the period.
The Wii U Deluxe Bundle's $50 price cut (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/nintendo-cuts-wii-u-price-in-north-america-uk-to-follow/0120534) and the recently released The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD bundle likely played the largest roles in the sales spike.
The 3DS had a strong US retail showing for the month, finishing on top of the hardware category for the fifth month straight.
The launch of Pokemon X & Y and the arrival of the 2DS during this month will likely see a repeat performance for Nintendo's handheld when October's results come in.
