According to independent sales tracker VGChartz<\/a>, whose sales reports have been a hit and miss in the past, the Wii U has now sold over 8 million units worldwide. <\/p>\n

The console apparently had a strong holiday sales month in December, and along with sales on Black Friday, this has helped to push Wii U sales to a new milestone: 8.22 million units sold worldwide. <\/p>\n

VGChartz also credits Super Smash Bros. for being a boost to Wii U sales, which doesn’t come as a surprise. According to their sales charts, Super Smash Bros has sold over 2 million units on the Wii U. <\/p>\n

Of course, these numbers aren’t official by any means — we’ll have to wait for Nintendo to release the real sales numbers in their next quarterly earnings report, which is scheduled to be released next month. <\/p>\n

Nintendo’s last quarterly results were released in late-October, where the company revealed that the console had sold 7.29 million worldwide<\/a>. Earlier this month, Japan’s Media Create, which has a solid track record when it comes to sales numbers, reported that the Wii U had sold 2 million units in Japan<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
