Wii U sales rank jumps 875% after Xbox One reveal on Amazon UK

Hey ATS

Wii U sales seem to have boosted right after the xbox one reveal!

It seems I’m not the only one who feels Microsoft’s Xbox One reveal was less than stellar, as customers in the UK have been snapping up the Wii U console ever since. Before the conference began the console had a sales rank of #390 on Amazon’s UK site. Shortly afterward, the Wii U skyrocketed up to #40 on the online retailer’s list. That’s a huge jump for a single event that had absolutely nothing to do with the console.

Even though its a minor improvement, I think it's the start of some more good news for Nintendo fans all around

A Wii bit of propaganda me thinks...

WiiU is not all the stellar it's self!

Don't knock it till you try it!

To be honest I felt like I wanted a Wii U after watching the Xbox One event. I've had every Nintendo console since the NES, but it's time to pass on the 3DS and Wii U.

XBOX wont let you give your games away. (You know, the ones that you bought)

It's kinda like me selling you my truck, that I bought, but having to give the money to GMC.

Apparently that's why XBOX has to hook up to the net once every 24 hours.

To check up on you and see if you've been bad or good.

Trust me, this is one big nightmare for XBOX and it's fans.

Yea I agree but i'm sure Microsoft will have a solution!

Doing some reading and apparently there's some major "back tracking" going on..
Though their (M$) wording is still vague at best.

[UPDATE] Retail sources claim Microsoft and publishers will take a percentage of every used game; Microsoft says reports are "inaccurate and incomplete"; new report says no secondhand fees at all.

I have a Wii LOVE it! But GUESS what?

It is starting to make noise, having freeze ups ever since the release of the last update shortly after the WiiU release...

I hate planned obsolescence!

Sony will soon do the same thing with the PS4, you'll have to pay a fee to "install games." They will probably announce it at E3.
