6. The Wii U Has A Terrible Year In 2013

2012 was a good year for the Wii U. It sold over 3 million units worldwide in roughly 6 weeks on the market. Unfortunately, the 12 months following its initial success have been terrible. It has since sold an estimated 1.2 million consoles in that time, which equates to roughly a 40% increase over a year.
