The alleged sales numbers for the week of December 21 have been revealed byVGChartz, and, according to the data, the Wii U outsold Microsoft’s Xbox One console globally last week.
As you can see in the chart below, the Wii U sold 319,860 units world-wide last week while the Xbox One sold only 307,366. Of course, neither systems come close to the numbers of the 3DS which sold 1,078,568 units last week to remain the top selling console in the World.
The news of the Wii U outselling the Xbox One is surprising due to the fact that Microsoft’s console is the newer of the two which has more “hype” at this time of the year. The fact that the Wii U sales are on the upswing can only be good news for a console, and a company, withhigh hopesfor 2014.
